Novel microsatellite tags hold promise for illuminating sea turtles' cryptic lost years

In the new article "Novel Microsatellite Tags Hold Promise for Illuminating the Lost Years in Four Sea Turtle Species" published in Animals, researchers tested new prototypes of microsatellite tags on 160 juvenile sea turtles of four species in the North Atlantic and analyzed the tags' performance. These findings have important implications for the bio-logging community, especially those studying marine animals such as sea turtles.
