Abstract EN
We report here a dataset comprising nine nuclear markers for the Brazilian population of Cheloniidae turtles: hawksbills (Eretmochelys imbricata), loggerheads (Caretta caretta), olive ridleys (Lepidochelys olivacea), and green turtles (Chelonia mydas).
Because hybridization is a common phenomenon between the four Cheloniidae species nesting on the Brazilian coast, we also report molecular markers for the hybrids E.
imbricata × C.
caretta, C.
caretta × L.
olivacea, and E.
imbricata × L.
olivacea and for one hybrid E.
imbricata × C.
mydas and one between three species C.
mydas × E.
imbricata × C.
caretta.
The data was used in previous studies concerning (1) the description of frequent hybrids C.
caretta × E.
imbricata in Brazil, (2) the report of introgression in some of these hybrids, and (3) population genetics.
As a next step for the study of these hybrids and their evolution, genome-wide studies will be performed in the Brazilian population of E.
imbricata, C.
caretta, and their hybrids.
