This project investigates hybridization between Hawksbill and Loggerhead sea turtles in Brazil, exploring its genetic and evolutionary implications. By analyzing genomic data, it aims to understand the causes and consequences of hybridization, contributing to conservation strategies for these endangered species.
Hawksbills and Loggerheads are two endangered sea turtles species that separated approximately 30 million years ago.
Despite this very long divergence time, they are currently hybridizing on the Brazilian coast.
Among nesting females morphologically identified as Hawksbills, 42% are F1 hybrids.
Hybrids can backcross with both parental species and produce viable offspring.
This appears to be a beautiful natural experiment, possibly driven by population decline that favour interspecific mating, to…
