Juveniles and where to find them: a basin-scale habitat model for the lost years of loggerhead sea turtles in the North Atlantic

The model offers a first basin-scale prediction of the seasonal distribution of juvenile loggerheads in the North-Atlantic, which shows consistency with stranding and bycatch data in the basin. This study represents a first step towards a broader scale understanding of juveniles' habitat preferences that can be used to quantify the magnitude and extent of the threats that they face.
