From: Coastal leatherback turtles reveal conservation hotspot
Stable isotope values from skin samples collected from nesting loggerhead and leatherback turtles within the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, South Africa between 2011 and 2013.
Coloured circles represent individuals that were tracked using satellite telemetry into oceanic foraging areas in the Western Indian Ocean (WIO, green circles) or the South Atlantic Ocean (SAO, orange circles), as well as coastal foraging areas in the Mozambique Channel (MC, red circles). Loggerhead turtles (blue triangles), have a broader range of δ13C values than leatherback turtles (circles). There was a large overlap in δ13C between loggerhead turtles and leatherback turtles assigned to coastal foraging areas (grey circles) using a discriminant function analysis.
