Figure 6From: Pelagic movements of pacific leatherback turtles (dermochelys coriacea) highlight the role of prey and ocean currentsSchematic figure of our method for incorporating the effect of currents on distance between patches. Panel a depicts the turtle at time 1 and a candidate patch at time 2. Distance d is the Euclidean distance separating the patches. The light grey lines depict the N-S surface current vector (v s,t ), and the E-W current vector (u s,t ). Panel b depicts the new position of the candidate patch after the currents have been subtracted; distance d’ reflects the new distance between the turtle and the patch after currents have been accounted for.Back to article page
