... with terrestrial navigation and summarize the advantages and constraints of different approaches used to analyze animal navigation in the sea. In addition, we highlight studies and techniques that have begun to unravel the sensory cues that underlie navigation in sea turtles, salmon and other ocean migrants...

... information has been demonstrated in several diverse animals including sea turtles, spiny lobsters, newts and birds, suggesting that such systems are phylogenetically widespread and can function over a wide range of spatial scales. These `magnetic maps' have not yet been fully characterized. They may...

...Larisa Avens; Kenneth J. Lohmann SUMMARY Although the orientation cues used by hatchling sea turtles have been studied extensively, little is known about the mechanisms of orientation and navigation that guide older turtles. To investigate the orientation cues used by juvenile loggerheads Caretta...

...William P. Irwin; Kenneth J. Lohmann SUMMARY Laboratory experiments have indicated that hatchling loggerhead sea turtles( Caretta caretta ) are able to establish and maintain courses using information from the Earth's magnetic field. In previous experiments, turtles were tested in relatively...

...Kenneth J. Lohmann; Catherine M. F. Lohmann ABSTRACT Loggerhead sea turtle hatchlings ( Caretta caretta L.) emerge from underground nests, scramble to the sea and begin a transoceanic migration by swimming away from their natal beach and into the open ocean. Evidence suggests that hatchlings...

...Kenneth J. Lohmann; Andrew W. Swartz; Catherine M. F. Lohmann ABSTRACT At the beginning of their offshore migration, hatchling sea turtles enter the ocean at night and establish a course away from land by swimming directly into oceanic waves. How turtles can detect wave direction while swimming...

... that underlie wave detection by sea turtle hatchlings are not known. Calculations indicate that, at the depth at which hatchlings swim, accelerations produced beneath typical waves and swells along the Florida coast are sufficient to be detected by the vertebrate inner ear. We therefore hypothesize...

...M. E. Lutcavage; P. L. Lutz; H. Baier ABSTRACT Pulmonary CO diffusion capacity (DL CO ), lung volume (VL), oxygen uptake and pulmonary blood flow (Q̇L) were measured simultaneously in the loggerhead sea turtle Caretta caretta (Linnaeus) (8-11 kg) using a gas rebreathing technique (syringe pump...
