Abstract

This study presents the first report of a loggerhead turtle nest in the northern latitudes in the Aegean Sea of Türkiye, which was found on the Gökçeada Island of Çanakkale Province, Turkey. The nest contains a total of 129 eggs, 103 of which produced hatchlings and 100 of these hatchlings reached to the sea safely. This sporadic record may be a result of mechanisms developed to overcome the limitations of philopatry and increase their ability to adapt to the predicted global climate change.

Özet

Bu çalışma, Türkiye'nin Ege Denizi'nin kuzey enlemlerinde, Çanakkale ilinin Gökçeada Adası'nda bulunan bir Caretta caretta yuvasının ilk raporunu sunmaktadır. Yuvada toplam 129 yumurta bulunmuş; bunlardan 103'ünden yavru çıkmış ve bu yavrulardan 100'ü güvenli bir şekilde denize ulaşmıştır. Bu düzensiz kayıt, filopatri sınırlamalarının üstesinden gelmek ve öngörülen küresel iklim değişikliğine uyum sağlama yeteneklerini artırmak için geliştirilen mekanizmaların bir sonucu olabilir.
