A mechanism that maintains alternative life histories in a loggerhead sea turtle population

H Hatase, K Omuta, K Tsukamoto - Ecology, 2013 - Wiley Online Library

Conservation implications of complex population structure: lessons from the loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta)

BW Bowen, AL Bass, L Soares, RJ Toonen - Molecular ecology, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
Complex population structure can result from either sex‐biased gene flow or population
overlap during migrations. Loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) have both traits, providing an …
