Estimating at-sea mortality of marine turtles from stranding frequencies and drifter experiments.

Strandings of marine megafauna can provide valuable information on cause of death at sea. However, as stranding probabilities are usually very low and highly variable in space and time, interpreting the results can be challenging. We evaluated the magnitude and distribution of at-sea mortality of ma...
