The rehabilitation of wildlife can contribute directly to the conservation of threatened species
by helping to maintain wild populations. This study focused on determining the post …

The hawksbill turtle is a broadly distributed, highly migratory and critically endangered sea
turtle species. The paucity of studies restricts the comprehension of its behavior and life …

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

Genetic analyses of nuclear DNA (eg, microsatellites) are a primary tool for investigating
mating systems in reptiles, particularly marine turtles. Whereas studies over the past two …

Accurate knowledge of spatial population structure is crucial for species conservation and
management, but low genetic diversity of endangered species makes it difficult to ascertain …

This study presents the first published data on the morphometrics of nesting hawksbill turtles
(Eretmochelys imbricata) and their eggs and counts of yolked and yolkless eggs per clutch …

Genetic mating systems described for squamate reptiles range from primarily monogamous
to completely polygynandrous. The presence of female multiple mating is almost ubiquitous …

Within the waters of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), there are nine sea snake species and
five species of sea turtles, two of which (Hawksbill and Green Sea Turtles) are breeding and …

Accurate knowledge of spatial population structure is crucial for species conservation and
management, but low genetic diversity of endangered species makes it difficult to ascertain …

The small population sizes characteristic of many imperiled species means that they are
vulnerable to both demographic and genetic extinction threats. Responses to these threats …
