Overview

Research reveals breeding probability in green turtles is influenced by individual quality and age, suggesting unique reproductive strategies.

Key Points

  • To examine how age and individual heterogeneity influence breeding probability in green turtles.
  • Utilized a 52-year dataset on captive green turtles
  • Applied a multi-event capture-mark-recapture framework
  • High-quality turtles had greater chances of consecutive breeding
  • An antagonistic relationship exists between age and breeding experience
  • Negligible reproductive senescence observed in females with high residual reproductive value
