Fine-scale distribution of juvenile Atlantic and Mediterranean loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) in the Mediterranean Sea (2014, methodology): “Previous research in the Mediterranean Sea has mostly used a ~380-bp fragment of noncoding mitochondrial Dna (mtDna) as the genetic marker for MSa (laurent et al. 1998; Maffucci et al. 2006; Carreras et al. 2007; Casale et al. 2008; Carreras et al. 2011; Saied et al. 2012; but see garofalo et al. 20”
Mediterranean sea turtles: current knowledge and priorities for conservation and research (2018, unknown): “…loggerhead males are also philo - patric, although some male-mediated gene flow has been proposed among different populations that may help the maintenance of the genetic variability of the smallest populations (Schroth et al. 1996, Carreras et al. 2007, Yilmaz et al. 2011, Clusa et al. 2018).”
Population structure and conservation implications for the loggerhead sea turtle of the Cape Verde Islands (2010, methodology): “In the eastern Mediterranean, Carreras et al. (2007) found four independent units, most of them characterized by one exclusive haplotype.”
Movement patterns of marine turtles in the Mediterranean Sea: a review (2014, background): “The Mediterranean loggerhead population shows a genetic divergence from the Atlantic populations (Bowen & Karl 2007), and a population substructure (Laurent et al. 1998; Carreras et al. 2007; Clusa et al. 2013), indicating the presence of independent management units for conservation.”
