摘要: 191 Abstract: The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region sequences of two species (Caretta caretta and Chelonia mydas) sea turtles from the Mediterranean were analysed using samples Northern Cyprus. Only one single haplotype for each was detected. These results compared with other published work regarding genetic structure turtle populations. suggest that population separated their Atlantic relatives in recent past. In order to protect these endangered preserve diversity Mediterranean, individual nesting sites must be protected. That studies can done on systematics vertebrates, especially taxonomic Herpetofauna, has also been shown by related literature.
