Parentage Analysis in a Green Sea Turtle (<i>Chelonia mydas</i>) Population From French Polynesia Reveals a Tendency for Inbreeding and Unexpected Plasticity in Reproductive Behaviour. [PDF]
In this study, we examine the mating system of an endangered population of green sea turtles in Tetiaroa, French Polynesia, through genotype reconstruction and parentage analysis. We unravelled the mating behaviours of both males and females and determined if they serve as strategies to avoid inbreeding by investigating levels of relatedness between ...

Hawksbill sea turtle life-stage durations, somatic growth patterns, and age at maturation [PDF]
Sea turtles exhibit complex life histories, encompassing intermittent use of multiple spatially separated habitats throughout long lifespans. This broad scope presents challenges for collecting comprehensive biological and ecological data, yet absence of such information complicates evaluation of management strategies for populations at risk of ...
