- A new record and molecular characterization of the Green Turtle Chelonia mydas (Testudines, Cheloniidae), in Sicilian coastal waters Santo Caracappa Maria Flaminia Persichetti Antonio Piazza Antonino Gentile Sandra Marineo Vittoria Currò Antonio Iraci Fuintino Federico Marrone Marco Arculeo Ciencias de la Tierra Sea turtle Chelonia mydas Mediterranean Sea COI mitochondrial DNA A juvenile specimen of the Green Turtle, Chelonia mydas, was recovered in Sicilian coastal waters close to Avola (Syracuse province, south-eastern Sicily, Italy). Before being released, the specimen was measured a nd inspected for the presence of ingested hooks or other possible harms to its health. A fragment of the mtDNA marker COI was ampl ified and sequenced in order to provide the first molecular data for the species from the central Mediterranean area. The possible influence of climate change on the occurrence of this thermophilic species in the central Mediterranean area is briefly discusse d. 2017 artículo científico 0717-3326 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=47950143014 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=479 Revista de Biología Marina y Oceanografía application/pdf Universidad de Valparaíso Revista de Biología Marina y Oceanografía (Chile) Num.1 Vol.52
