Considerable phylogeographic and population genetic research has been conducted on
marine turtles. Less attention, however, has been paid to the historical patterns and …

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

We analysed the genetic structure of seven nesting sites of the endangered green turtle
(Chelonia mydas) in Africa using mitochondrial DNA control region sequences. Tissue …

We used mitochondrial DNA sequence comparisons to assess range-wide population
structure and historical patterns of differentiation among populations of the bog turtle …

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 …

Restriction‐site analyses of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from the loggerhead sea turtle
(Caretta caretta) reveal substantial phylogeographic structure among major nesting …

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

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 …

In species of conservation concern it is often difficult to be certain that population diversity
and structure have been adequately characterised by genetic sampling. Since practical and …

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 …
