Satellite Tracking of Head-Started Juvenile Green Turtles (<i>Chelonia mydas</i>) Reveals Release Effects and an Ontogenetic Shift

Satellite Tracking of Head-Started Juvenile Green Turtles (<i>Chelonia mydas</i>) Reveals Release Effects and an Ontogenetic Shift

Juveniles of marine species, such as sea turtles, are often understudied in movement ecology. To determine dispersal patterns and release effects, we released 40 satellite-tagged juvenile head-started green turtles (<i>Chelonia mydas</i>, 1–4 years) from two separate locations (January a...
