Survival And Remigration Probabilities For Loggerhead Turtles (Caretta Caretta) Nesting In The Eastern Gulf Of Mexico
Few long-term mark-recapture tagging datasets exist to estimate population parameters for loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) recovery units. Using a two-state open robust design model, we analyzed a 20-year (1990-2009) mark-recapture dataset from the Keewaydin Island loggerhead nesting assembla...
