Overall Research Project Description Information on the spatial distribution, behavior, habitat use and movement of migratory species is fundamental to identify key habitats, critical resources, discrete foraging aggregations and migratory corridors for protection. This information can also help elucidate ecological processes and provide insights into potential threats. Extensive research has been conducted on the spatial ecology of marine turtles, however, most of our knowledge is focused on adult nesting females since they are easy to access when they come to nest ashore. In contrast to this, stages that do not come ashore (e.g., post-hatchlings, juveniles, male turtles) have received relatively less attention as they are logistically difficult to study. In particular, information on mature males is scarce as we have limited knowledge of their distribution, they are harder to encounter during in-water studies and challenging to catch. This project will conduct a meta-analysis to identify current knowledge and knowledge gaps related to male sea turtle spatial ecology and collect data from published work to analyse existing information.
