Green turtle mitochondrial microsatellites indicate finer-scale natal homing to isolated islands than to continental nesting sites
April 29, 2020
In highly mobile philopatric species, defining the scale of natal homing is fundamental to characterizing population dynamics and effectively managing distinct populations. Genetic tools have provided evidence of regional natal philopatry in marine turtles, but extensive sharing of maternally inherited mitochondrial control region (CR) haplotypes within regions (
