MATING STRATEGIES OF THE LEATHERBACK TURTLE AS REVEALED THROUGH MOLECULAR MARKERS
NOAA Technical Memorandum NMFS SEFSC, (415)
08 Mar 1997
Abstract
To describe the mating strategy of the leatherback turtle, we used polymorphic nDNA microsatellite markers to examine alleles within clutches of eggs. We investigated clutches laid by 10 females, from which 20 hatchlings were sampled, including several successive clutches throughout the season. Three primer sets are currently being screened, including Dutton's DC99, and FitzSimmons' E18 and CC117, for paternally derived alleles.
