Mol Ecol 16:4886-907. 2007..Genetic studies have advanced our understanding of marine turtle biology and evolution, but significant gaps persist and provide challenges for the next generation of sea turtle geneticists...
Mixed-stock analysis reveals the migrations of juvenile hawksbill turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) in the Caribbean SeaB W Bowen
Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology, University of Hawaii, PO Box 1346, Kaneohe, Hawaii 96744, USA
Mol Ecol 16:49-60. 2007..The mixed-stock analysis demonstrates that harvests in feeding habitats will impact nesting colonies throughout the region, with the greatest detriment to nearby nesting populations...
Common misconceptions in molecular ecology: echoes of the modern synthesisStephen A Karl
Hawai i Institute of Marine Biology, University of Hawai i, Manoa, Kane ohe, HI 96744, USA
Mol Ecol 21:4171-89. 2012..This is clearly not an exhaustive list and many others can be added. It is, however, sufficient to illustrate why we all need to be more critical of our own understanding of molecular ecology and to be suspicious of self-evident truths...
