Fine-scale genetic population structure of loggerhead turtles in the Northwest Pacific

Abstract: Effective conservation of globally distributed marine species relies on identification of demographically independent populations to ensure that management actions are directed at the appropriate scale. This identification is particularly challenging for species with complex life histories when local breeding populations have not been adequately sampled. We used mtDNA to analyze the population structure of loggerhead turtles from a total of 555 samples collected from 12 nesting sites in Japan in the Northwest … Show more

“…Given new population structure analysis (Matsuzawa et al . ), genetically linked behavioural differences may drive these patterns, yet this remains to be explored. Periodic environmental, oceanographic and/or climate fluxes may also facilitate movement of juvenile turtles between habitats.…”

“…Gaos et al 2016, Vargas et al 2016 loggerhead (e.g. Nishizawa et al 2014a, Shamblin et al 2014, Matsuzawa et al 2016, and olive ridley turtles (Jensen et al 2013). Globally, significant advances have been made integrating male-and female-mediated gene flow by incorporating both mitochondrial and nuclear DNA (Dutton et al 2013) for delineating demographically independent populations.…”

“…Among those, genetics has been the preferred method to evaluate population structure. The levels of connectivity among populations can be inferred through the degree of genetic differentiation retained as a result of isolation (Matsuzawa et al, ; Roden et al, ), and can also reflect the historical processes that shaped the actual distributions (Clusa et al, ). Contemporary movements of individuals can also be tracked using tag–recapture techniques (Rees et al, ), satellite telemetry (Stokes et al, ), or stable isotopes (Hobson, ), thus linking reproductive areas with developmental and foraging areas.…”
