Supplement 1. Figures and tables. (.pdf)
Animation S1 (.gif)
S1
Turtle movement in relation to sea surface temperature (SST) in 2012-2013. The animation represents the daily interpolated positions of 46 juvenile loggerhead sea turtles, released southwest off New Caledonia (24.98° S, 163.03° E) on 21 September 2012, in relation to SST (°C) (see colour key). Tracks are shown from the day of release (Day 0) up to a year later (Day 365). The number of days since release is shown above the frame

S2
Turtle movement in relation to chlorophyll a (chl a) concentration in 2012-2013. The animation represents the daily interpolated positions of 46 juvenile loggerhead sea turtles, released southwest off New Caledonia (24.98° S, 163.03° E) on 21 September 2012, in relation to chl a (mg C m-2 d-1) (see colour key). Tracks are shown from the day of release (Day 0) up to a year later (Day 365). The number of days since release is shown above the frame

Animation S3 (.gif)
S3
Movement trajectories of simulated turtle (red), drifter (blue) and HYCOM (purple) particles, artificially released southwest off New Caledonia (24.98° S, 163.03° E) on 21 September 2012. The simulated tracks are shown from the day of release (Day 0) up to a year later (Day 365). The number of days since release is shown above the figures. Only the first position per day (positions were estimated every 6 h) per particle is shown
