Over the past few decades, there have been increasing numbers of reports of diseases in
marine turtles. Furthermore, in recent years, there have been documented instances of …

Analyses of mitochondrial (mt) DNA control region sequences from 175 leatherback turtles
Dermochelys coriacea from 10 nesting colonies revealed shallow phylogenetic structuring of …

Testing theories of dispersal is challenging in highly migratory species. In sea turtles,
population size, geographic distance, natal homing, and ocean currents are hypothesized to …

Molecular studies of sea turtles have shown that the frequency of multiple paternity (MP)
varies between species, and between rookeries of the same species. This study uses …

A hypothermic stunning event (ie, cold-stunning event) during late Dec. 2000 and early Jan.

This study presents a comprehensive genetic analysis of stock structure for leatherback
turtles (Dermochelys coriacea), combining 17 microsatellite loci and 763 bp of the mtDNA …

Despite intense interest in conservation of marine turtles, spatial ecology during the oceanic
juvenile phase remains relatively unknown. Here, we used mixed stock analysis and …
