Population stock structure of leatherback turtles (Dermochelyscoriacea) in the Atlantic revealed using mtDNA and microsatellite markers

This study presents a comprehensive genetic analysis of stock structure for leatherback turtles ( Dermochelys coriacea ), combining 17 microsatellite loci and 763 bp of the mtDNA control region. Recently discovered eastern Atlantic nesting populations of this critically endangered species were absen...
