Resumen:
Morphology analysis demonstrated the most austral record of the critically endangered hawksbill sea turtle, Eretmochelys imbricata, in temperate waters of Argentina. The analysis of 760 bp fragment of mitochondrial DNA control region sequences indicated that the Brazilian nesting colonies might be one of the main contributors to these latitudes and showed the hybrid nature of individuals. The results constitute the first insight into the occurrence and characterization of this tropical species in temperate latitudes, improving our knowledge about its migratory patterns in the region.
