A new study from researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill provides the first empirical evidence that ...

Sea turtles are capable of creating GPS-like magnetic maps to guide them back to foraging grounds, and they do a little dance ...

Sea turtles have long mystified researchers by returning to beaches where they were hatched, magnetic signals may be the key, new research finds.

Loggerhead sea turtles ( Caretta caretta) are pretty loyal marine reptiles. Even with their roughly 8,000-mile-long ...

Loggerhead turtles “dance” when exposed to food-associated magnetic fields, and their magnetic map may help them return to specific areas after long migrations.

Baby loggerhead turtles “dance” when they are expecting food, a behaviour that researchers have used to investigate their navigation abilities. By learning to associate a magnetic field with a food, ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Using satellite trackers, scientists have discovered the whereabouts of young sea turtles during a key part of their lives. “We’ve had massive data gaps about the early ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Using satellite trackers, scientists have discovered the whereabouts of young sea turtles during a key part of their lives. Thousands of endangered tortoises are rescued in ...

For decades, scientists have wondered about what happens during the so-called lost years between when tiny hatchlings leave the beach and when they return to coastlines nearly grown — a span of about ...

“We’ve had massive data gaps about the early baby to toddler life stages of sea turtles,” said Kate Mansfield, a marine scientist at the University of Central Florida. “This part of their ...
