Influence of tide variations on the emergences of Caretta caretta in the island of Boavista (Cape Verde islands, Western Africa)
The island of Boavista (Republic of Cape Verde, Western Africa) is located in front of Senegal (Fig. 1). Here we find one of the most important nesting colonies of Caretta caretta in North Atlantic Ocean (López-Jurado and Andreu 1998). Reproduction biology of this population is been a part of a cons...
