population structure. This area hosts one of the largest nesting aggregates in the world …

Mitochondrial (mt) DNA sequences were analysed to resolve the phylogeography and
population genetic structure of Atlantic and Mediterranean populations of green turtles …

Ecological and genetic studies of marine turtles generally support the hypothesis of natal
homing, but leave open the question of the geographical scale of genetic exchange and the …

The Kemp's ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys kempi) is restricted to the warm temperate zone
