Understanding the processes that underlie the current distribution of genetic diversity in
endangered species is a goal of modern conservation biology. Specifically, the role of …

Regional genetic differentiation of mitochondrial lineages occurs in migratory species with
natal philopatry such as sea turtles. However, early juvenile dispersal represents a key …

Abstract The Cape Verde Islands harbour the second largest nesting aggregation of the
globally endangered loggerhead sea turtle in the Atlantic. To characterize the unknown …

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

The loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta), has the widest distribution among sea turtle
species in the Mediterranean, requiring regional and international collaborations in addition …

Previous genetic studies have demonstrated that natal homing shapes the stock structure of
marine turtle nesting populations. However, widespread sharing of common haplotypes …

Studies of highly migratory species that increase our understanding of the dynamics of
genetic diversity, migratory routes, and genetic connectivity are essential for informing …

Reconstructing past events of hybridization and population size changes are required to
understand speciation mechanisms and current patterns of genetic diversity, and ultimately …

Aim To examine the genetic structure and global phylogeography of the endangered green
sea turtle, Chelonia mydas, in light of past climatic events and current conservation needs …

The worldwide population of the leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) encompasses
seven subpopulations among the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans. It has experienced …
