Tese de mestrado. Biologia (Ecologia Marinha). Universidade de Lisboa, Faculdade de Ciências, 2012The nesting process requires sea turtles to choose among beach habitats that ensure a successful development of eggs and a low risk of mortality due to predation. The nesting habitat preferences of green turtles (Chelonia mydas) in João Vieira Island were analysed, as well as the proportion of emergences resulting in a successful nesting event and the effects of lunar and tidal phases on the nesting behaviour. The susceptibility of nests to predation at the different habitats were also analysed and nest predation rates were compared with the ones of Poilão Island. Of the habitat features evaluated (offshore bathymetry, slope, distance from high...
