Population structure of Pacific green turtles: a new perspective from microsatellite DNA variation

Population structure of Pacific green turtles: a new perspective from microsatellite DNA variation

This study builds upon the current understanding of green turtle population genetic structure in the Pacific that has largely been based on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), by examining nuclear DNA (nDNA) diversity, regional connectivity, and male-mediated gene flow. A total of 1,111 nesting green turtle...
