  abstract = {{T}he inaccessibility of open ocean habitat and the cryptic nature of small animals are fundamental problems when assessing the distribution of oceanic-stage sea turtles and other marine animals sharing similar life-history traits. {M}ost methods that estimate patterns of abundance cannot be applied in situations that are extremely data limited. {H}ere, we use a movement ecology framework to generate the first predicted distributions for the oceanic stage of the {K}emp's ridley sea turtle ({L}epidochelys kempii). {O}ur simulations of particle dispersal within ocean circulation models reveal substantial annual variation in distribution and survival among simulated cohorts. {S}uch techniques can help prioritize areas for conservation, and supply inputs for more realistic demographic models attempting to characterize population trends.},
