Molecular markers based on mitochondrial (mt) DNA control region sequences were used to
test the hypothesis that juvenile loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) in pelagic habitats …

Recent studies of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation among marine turtle populations are
consistent with the hypothesis that females return to beaches in their natal region to nest as …

The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region sequences of two species (Caretta caretta
and Chelonia mydas) of sea turtles from the Mediterranean were analysed using samples …

To assess population genetic structure and evolutionary relationships among nesting
populations of loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta), we analyzed mitochondrial (mt) DNA …

Ecological and genetic studies of marine turtles generally support the hypothesis of natal
homing, but leave open the question of the geographical scale of genetic exchange and the …

Considerable phylogeographic and population genetic research has been conducted on
marine turtles. Less attention, however, has been paid to the historical patterns and …

We use a comparative analysis of partial cytochrome b sequences to evaluate the
evolutionary forces shaping wide-scale phylogeographic patterns of all three North …

The sea turtles are a group of cretaceous origin containing seven recognized living species:
leatherback, hawksbill, Kemp's ridley, olive ridley, loggerhead, green, and flatback. The …

The tools of conservation genetics offer a powerful means of identifying breeding
populations and interpreting historic gene flow. For marine turtles, genetic data can help …

Restriction‐site analyses of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from the loggerhead sea turtle
(Caretta caretta) reveal substantial phylogeographic structure among major nesting …
