The use of mesoscale eddies by juvenile loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) in the southwestern Atlantic.
Marine animals, such as turtles, seabirds and pelagic fishes, are observed to travel and congregate around eddies in the open ocean.Mesoscale eddies, large swirling ocean vortices with radius iphone 13 dallas scales of approximately 50-100 km, provide environmental variability that can structure these populations.In this study, we investigate the u
