The leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) is an endangered species, and world‐wide
populations are declining. To understand better the mating structure of this pelagic and
fragile species, we investigated paternity in nearly 1000 hatchlings from Playa Grande in
Parque Marino Nacional Las Baulas, Costa Rica. We collected DNA samples from 36 adult
female leatherbacks and assessed allele frequency distributions for three microsatellite loci.
For 20 of these 36 females, we examined DNA from hatchlings representing multiple …
