Recapture identification
Genotypes were obtained from 1483 hatchlings representing 549 nests and 107 females. Sample size per nest ranged from 1 to 83, with 15 nests having more than 10 samples. The 23 loci had a meanHe of 0.66 ± 0.04 and a meanHo of 0.62 ± 0.04. Using the R packageRClone , two genotype clones were identified (Table 1). They correspond to two females, both of which were sampled for the first time in 2016-2017 and resampled after 4 years in 2020-2021. One of these females was correctly identified in the field by its flipper tag, while the other was thought to be an unknown female and was given a different name at the second encounter.
