Polyandry related to multiple paternities is one of the female reproduction behaviors of sea
turtles. The multiple paternities are still difficult to be determined. We determined paternity in …

Green turtle (Chelonia mydas; Testudines) is included in the group of polyandry animals,
which is single female mated with many male. DNA polymorphism method generally …

Sea turtles are promiscuous breeders with both males and females mating multiply. Due to
this mating system, multiple paternity (MP) occurs in sea turtle clutches, and the frequency of …

Adult sea turtles have multiple mates, but the frequency of multiple paternity varies between
rookeries and among species. Multiple mating can influence the strength of sexual selection …

The green turtle, Chelonia mydas, has suffered from population declines throughout its
range, mainly due to a continuous over-exploitation of eggs and adults. To better understand …

Although direct observations have been suggesting that multiple mating in green turtle
(Chelonia mydas) may be quite common at Khram Island, Chonburi, Thailand, the number of …

We present the first data collected on the genetic mating system of the hawksbill turtle
Eretmochelys imbricata, the only marine turtle not studied to date. We examined paternity …

Paternity was determined for three clutches and up to 20 offspring per clutch in the green
turtle (Chelonia mydas) from Ascension Island, South Atlantic, using microsatellite markers …

Polyandry is a common reproductive strategy in many animals, including various species of
sea turtles. In many species, it appears the benefits of polyandry are not observable material …

Sea turtles in general are promiscuous breeders, but previous leatherback paternity studies
found only a very low level of multiple paternity or none at all. Three highly polymorphic …
