Reconstruction of paternal genotypes over multiple breeding seasons reveals male green turtles do not breed annually.

Abstract excerpt

For species of conservation concern, knowledge of key life-history and demographic components, such as the number and sex ratio of breeding adults, is essential for accurate assessments of population viability. Species with temperature-dependent sex determination can produce heavily biased primary sex ratios, and there is concern that adult sex ratios may be similarly skewed or will become so as a result of...
