GENETIC ASSESSMENT OF SEA TURTLES FORAGING AGGREGATIONS OF BONAIRE, NETHERLANDS ANTILLES Final Report submitted to Sea Turtle Conservation Bonaire
As a result of dispersal and migratory behavior, sea turtles establish a complex interconnection between their original natal rookeries and their developmental and foraging grounds. Elucidating this interconnection is of vital importance as it provides a regional perspective of conservation priorities and initiatives to recover and maintain their populations. In addition it provides important c...
متن کاملContextualising the Last Survivors: Population Structure of Marine Turtles in the Dominican Republic
Nesting by three species of marine turtles persists in the Dominican Republic, despite historic threats and long-term population decline. We conducted a genetic survey of marine turtles in the Dominican Republic in order to link them with other rookeries around the Caribbean. We sequenced a 740bp fragment of the control region of the mitochondrial DNA of 92 samples from three marine turtle spec...
متن کاملGreen turtle (Chelonia mydas) foraging and nesting aggregations in the Caribbean and Atlantic: impact of currents and behavior on dispersal.
Although significant amounts of research have been dedicated to increasing the knowledge of the life history of green turtles (Chelonia mydas), large gaps exist in our understanding of juvenile migratory behavior. These gaps can be filled by genetic studies of foraging ground aggregations. Using mitochondrial DNA markers and Bayesian analyses, samples (n = 106) from a foraging aggregation in No...
متن کاملGreen turtle (Chelonia mydas) genetic diversity at Paranaguá Estuarine Complex feeding grounds in Brazil
Sea turtles are marine reptiles that undertake long migrations through their life, with limited information regarding juvenile stages. Feeding grounds (FGs), where they spend most of their lives, are composed by individuals from different natal origins, known as mixed stock populations. The aim of this study was to assess genetic composition, natal origins and demographic history of juvenile gr...
متن کاملIn-water assessments of sea turtles at Glover’s Reef Atoll, Belize
The decline of sea turtle populations in the Caribbean has led to intensive recovery efforts. In Belizean waters, hawksbill turtles are seemingly making a comeback. At Glover’s Reef Atoll particularly, juvenile hawksbill turtles are found in the fore-reef habitat. The population status and dynamics of this foraging aggregation were assessed to inform conservation management and to ascertain the...
