This dissertation investigates the behavioral ecology of green and loggerhead sea turtles by analyzing site fidelity, movement behavior-based life stages, and the impacts of long-term climatic changes. Using a 47-year capture-recapture dataset from turtles entrained in the intake canal of the St. Lucie Nuclear Power Plant, this research proposes to develop probabilistic models to predict habitat utilization and site fidelity …
