About Karen A. Bjorndal

Karen A. Bjorndal, With an exceptional h-index of 90 and a recent h-index of 47 (since 2020), a distinguished researcher at University of Florida, specializes in the field of marine turtle biology, nutritional ecology.

His recent articles reflect a diverse array of research interests and contributions to the field:

Dynamics and aging of green turtle grazing plots at two Caribbean seagrass meadows

Holopelagic Sargassum aggregations provide warmer microhabitats for associated fauna

Intake and growth histories modulate bone morphology, microarchitecture, and mineralization in juvenile green turtles (Chelonia mydas)

Mitochondrial microsatellite sequences improve the resolution of genetic structure in western Greater Caribbean green turtle nesting populations

The Portuguese industrial pelagic longline fishery in the Northeast Atlantic: Catch composition, spatio-temporal dynamics of fishing effort, and target species catch rates

Duration of prolonged simulated green turtle grazing affects Thalassia testudinum regrowth dynamics following grazing cessation in a subtropical Caribbean …

Priorities for Mediterranean marine turtle conservation and management in the face of climate change
