A review of patterns of multiple paternity across sea turtle rookeries
Why females would mate with multiple partners and have multiple fathers for clutches or
litters is a long-standing enigma. There is a broad dichotomy in hypotheses ranging from …

Polyandry in a marine turtle: females make the best of a bad job
The female perspective on reproductive strategies remains one of the most active areas of
debate in biology. Even though a single mating is often sufficient to satisfy the fertilization …

Reconstructed paternal genotypes reveal variable rates of multiple paternity at three rookeries of loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) in Western Australia
Female sea turtles are promiscuous, with clutches of eggs often sired by multiple males and
rates of multiple paternity varying greatly within and across species. We investigated levels …
