| testing dispersal hypotheses in foraging green sea turtles (chelonia mydas) of brazil. | testing theories of dispersal is challenging in highly migratory species. in sea turtles, population size, geographic distance, natal homing, and ocean currents are hypothesized to affect dispersal. little is known, however, about these mechanisms in sea turtles foraging along the south american coast. green sea turtles feeding at ubatuba (ub, n = 114) and almofala (af, n = 117), brazil, were sequenced at the mitochondrial dna (mtdna) control region (486 bp) and genotyped at 7 microsatellite loc ... | 2007 | 17158465 |
