Hybridization between hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata) and loggerhead (Caretta caretta)
breeding groups is unusually common in Bahia state, Brazil. Such hybridization is possible …

Marine turtle hybridization is usually sporadic and involves reports of only a few individuals;
however, Brazilian populations have high hybridization rates. Here we investigated the …

Globally, sea turtle hybridization has been reported at very low frequencies. However, in
Brazil, a high incidence (> 40% of morphologically assigned hawksbills) of hybridization …

Bahia state hosts over 90% of hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata) nests registered in the
main nesting sites monitored by Projeto Tamar-IBAMA in Brazil. The genetic diversity of this …

Hybridization between sea turtle species occurs with particularly high frequency at two
adjacent nesting areas in northeastern Brazil. To understand the outcomes of hybridization …

Data on hawksbill Eretmochelys imbricata migratory patterns are virtually unknown for
nesting populations in the South Atlantic Ocean. The most significant nesting ground for …

Sea turtle hybridization is a common phenomenon in Brazil between loggerheads (Caretta
caretta) and hawksbills (Eretmochelys imbricata) as well as between loggerheads and olive …

Understanding the connections between sea turtle populations is fundamental for their
effective conservation. Brazil hosts important hawksbill feeding areas, but few studies have …

Hybridization is a fundamental evolutionary and ecological process with significant
conservation ramifications. Sea turtle hybridization occurs at unusually high frequencies …

An extremely high incidence of hybridization among sea turtles is found along the Brazilian
coast. This atypical phenomenon and its impact on sea turtle conservation can be elucidated …
