Issue Date: | 2010 | Abstract: | Because of the extensive migrations of marine turtles through the ocean, many aspects of their biology have been unknown for a long time. However, much information has been recently gained from genetic studies and population monitoring of female turtles at their nesting sites. In contrast, still very little is known on the genetic diversity, population structure and dispersal patterns of the male breeding population, mainly because of the difficulty of capturing and monitoring them at sea. The aim of this study is to assess the genetic patterns of the male breeding population of the loggerhead turtle, Caretta caretta, using a non invasive approach and compare them to the female breeding population. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/18169 | Source: | 28th ISTS Symposium on Sea Turtle Biology and Conservation, Loreto, BCS, México, 2008, p. 155 |
