Resumo da atividade

I research several aspects of sea turtle ecology, including their migrations and connectivity, population dynamics and trends, and climate change impacts on nesting populations. My current work in West Africa also focuses on participatory conservation and capacity building.

Destaques

Climate change resilience of a globally important sea turtle population Nest site selection repeatability of green turtles, Chelonia mydas, and consequences for offspring Dispersal of green turtles from Africa’s largest rookery assessed through genetic markers Balanced primary sex ratios and resilience to climate change in a major sea turtle population Assessing climate change associated sea level rise impacts on sea turtle nesting beaches using drones, photogrammetry and a novel GPS system
