Included in this section are publications that have been pre-published online prior to the hardcopy publication. These citations are included because of the frequent delay in hardcopy publication and the importance of keeping everyone informed of the latest research accomplishments. Please email us ACCSTR@zoology.ufl.edu when your papers are published online. Check the online bibliography for final citation, including volume and page numbers.

It is requested that a copy of all publications (including technical reports and non-refereed journal articles) be sent to both:

1)The ACCSTR for inclusion in both the on-line bibliography and the MTN. Address: Archie Carr Center for Sea Turtle Research, University of Florida, PO Box 118525, Gainesville, FL 32611, USA.

2) The editors of the Marine Turtle Newsletter to facilitate the transmission of information to colleagues submitting articles who may not have access to on-line literature reviewing services.
