Anthropogenic pressures threaten biodiversity, necessitating conservation actions founded on robust ecological models. However, prevailing models inadequately capture the spatiotemporal variation in environmental faced by species with high mobility or complex life histories, as data are often aggregated across species' histories spatial distributions. We highlight limitations of static for dynamic and incorporate history distributions stressors into a trait-based vulnerability impact model. use green sea turtles Greater Caribbean Region to demonstrate how anthropogenic change four stages. By incorporating stages model, we observed stage-specific vulnerabilities that were otherwise unnoticed when using an trait value set. Early more vulnerable some stressors, such inorganic pollution marine heat waves, less others, bycatch. Incorporating revealed impacts differ each stage areas, emphasizing importance measures. Our approach showcases processes will enable better targeted mobility.
