Overview

Anton D. Tucker is affiliated with the Mote Marine Laboratory in the United States. Their research primarily concentrates on environmental science, with a significant focus on nature and landscape conservation, ecology, and global and planetary change. Their work also touches on molecular biology and aspects of ecology, evolution, behavior, and systematics.

The core topics of Tucker's research include turtle biology and conservation, marine animal studies, amphibian and reptile biology, avian ecology and behavior, and wildlife ecology and conservation. Additional interests extend to ichthyology and marine biology as well as wildlife conservation and criminology analyses.

Among recent publications, Tucker has contributed to research papers such as:

  • Diverse aging rates in ectothermic tetrapods provide insights for the evolution of aging and longevity, 2022, Science
  • Plastic Pollution and Small Juvenile Marine Turtles: A Potential Evolutionary Trap, 2021, Frontiers in Marine Science
  • RETRACTED: Age prediction of green turtles with an epigenetic clock, 2022, Molecular Ecology Resources
  • Phylogeography, genetic stocks, and conservation implications for an Australian endemic marine turtle, 2020, Aquatic Conservation Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems
  • Multiple satellite tracking datasets inform green turtle conservation at a regional scale, 2020, Diversity and Distributions

Tucker frequently collaborates with other researchers in their field, including Scott D. Whiting, Sabrina Fossette, Kellie Pendoley, Mathew A. Vanderklift, and Michele Thums.

Their work appears regularly in venues such as Endangered Species Research, Frontiers in Marine Science, Aquatic Conservation Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, PLoS ONE, and Remote Sensing.
