Nesting success on the emergences of Caretta caretta in the island of Boavista (Cape Verde islands, Western Africa)
The nesting population of loggerhead sea turtle, Caretta caretta, (Linnaeus 1758) in Boavista island (16º 40'N, 25º 55' W, Fig. 1) is being examined in arder to its conservation as well as knowing the most significant aspects of its reproductive biology. Cape Verde Islands represent one of...
