摘要
Paternity was determined for three clutches and up to 20 offspring per clutch in the green turtle (Chelonia mydas) from Ascension Island, South Atlantic, using microsatellite markers. All three clutches were sired by at least two different males. The results were compared with those of previous studies of multiple paternity in turtles. No significant difference among studies was observed in the mean contribution of the males siring the largest proportion of progeny per clutch. The present study also provides evidence for segregation distortion (meiotic drive) in turtles. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science B.V All rights reserved.
