Whole mitochondrial DNA sequencing improves resolution of population structure for Pacific green turtles (Chelonia mydas)

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysis is a key tool for defining population structure in marine turtles, due to their strong natal homing behavior, which leads to genetic differentiation among rookeries. However, the widespread occurrence of common haplotypes across large geographic areas, has limited...
