Multiple haplotypes of Chelonia mydas juveniles in a threatened hotspot area in Southern Brazil

Table 1 ‒
Number of juveniles green turtle from each haplotype in each sampling year (N), with the CCLs (cm) or mean CCLs (cm) (±SD); number of haplotypes per year (Nº hap); haplotype diversity (h) and nucleotide diversity (π).

Table 2
‒ Number of green turtles per haplotype, haplotype diversity (h) and nucleotide diversity (π) of the mtDNA control region of green sea turtles present in different feeding areas in the Atlantic Ocean. NC = North Carolina/USA; FL = Florida/USA; BH = Bahamas; NI = Nicaragua; BB = Barbados; CV = Cape Verde; AL = Almofala; FN = Fernando de Noronha/BR; RA = Rocas Atoll/BR; BA = Bahia/BR; ES = Espírito Santo/BR; UB = Ubatuba/BR; PR = Paraná/BR; AI = Arvoredo Island/BR; CB = Cassino Beach/BR; PB = Province of Buenos Aires/AR; N = Number of samples; Nº hap = Number of haplotypes; h = Haplotype diversity; π = Nucleotide diversity. Standard deviations are presented in parentheses.

Table 3 ‒
AMOVA values according to the feeding areas described for green sea turtles in the Atlantic Ocean, considering differences between the groups (North and South Atlantic), between feeding areas within the groups and between feeding areas overall.

Table 4 ‒
F_ST according to haplotype frequency and Φ_ST, using the Kimura 2P genetic distance parameters between the feeding areas described for green sea turtles in the Atlantic Ocean. F_ST is in the lower part of the table and Φ_ST in the upper part. Values in boldface and marked with an asterisk (*) indicate significant values (p ≤ 0.05). NC = North Carolina; FL = Florida; BH = Bahamas; NI = Nicaragua; BB = Barbados; CV = Cape Verde; AL = Almofala; FN = Fernando de Noronha; RA = Rocas Atoll; BA = Bahia; ES = Espírito Santo; UB = Ubatuba; PR = Paraná; AI = Arvoredo Island; CB = Cassino Beach; PB = Province of Buenos Aires.
