Perfluorinated alkyl substances (PFASs) are global, persistent, and toxic contaminants. We
assessed PFAS concentrations in green (Chelonia mydas) and hawksbill (Eretmochelys …

The northwestern Pacific region is an important habitat for sea turtles, hosting five species
out of seven. There is still limited information available about the sea turtle aggregations …

Hawksbill sea turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) from the Hawaiian archipelago form a small
and genetically isolated population, consisting of only a few tens of individuals breeding …

Regional genetic differentiation of mitochondrial lineages occurs in migratory species with
natal philopatry such as sea turtles. However, early juvenile dispersal represents a key …

Molecular tools are increasingly applied for assessing and monitoring biodiversity and
informing conservation action. While recent developments in genetic and genomic methods …

Evaluating wildlife population trends is necessary for the development of effective
management strategies, which are particularly relevant for highly threatened species …

Understanding the basic life history patterns of highly migratory species is important for
effective management. For sea turtles, evidence of developmental biogeography and …

Social behaviors represent a central tenet of ecology and evolutionary biology, but remain
widely undocumented in reptiles. Although marine turtles have been studied for decades …

Hawksbill sea turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) from the Hawaiian archipelago form a small,
genetically isolated, population consisting of only a few tens of individuals breeding …

Sea turtles are long-lived, globally distributed animals with a complex life-history. Individuals
from different populations often share the same foraging areas (mixed stock aggregations) …
