I am interested in the nutritional ecology of loggerheads and green turtles. I use stable isotope analysis to examine the diet of nesting individuals. Additionally, I am interested in the role of sea turtles as biological transporters of nutrients. I also employ stable isotope analysis to examine the dispersal of marine-derived nutrients that nesting females bring to the beach ecosystem in Tortuguero, Costa Rica. |
