The Effect of the El Niño Southern Oscillation on the Reproductive Frequency of Eastern Pacific Leatherback Turtles

1. Pacific leatherback turtle Dermochelys coriacea populations have been declining precipitously. It has been suggested that fishery-associated mortality is the leading factor causing the decline; however, the sensitivity of leatherbacks to climate variability relative to their population ecology is...
