Small-scale movements and site fidelity of two sympatric sea turtle species at a remote atoll

Understanding natural movement patterns and ecological roles of marine megafauna is a research priority best studied in areas with minimal human impact. The spatial distribution patterns specifically for immature turtles at foraging grounds have been highlighted as a research gap for effective manag...
