Nanoindentation tests of Sulcata Tortoise’s carapace

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2018
This paper illustrates the dependence of tortoise carapace's hardness and elastic modulus on peak-load of nanoindentation tests. Sulcata Tortoise carapace is a sandwich-like structure consisting of four submicron layers: keratin scutes, dorsal cortex, cancellous interior (porous layer) and ventral cortex.

After All, Size Does Matter: Size and Trachemys Scripta Reproduction Traits at the Western Limit of Its European Distribution

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
‐ Female T. scripta exhibit a clear size‐dependent reproductive investment, where larger plastron length is positively associated with all key reproductive traits. ‐ Female T. scripta reach sexual maturity at a plastron length of approximately 15–18 cm. ABSTRACT In invasive species, reproductive success may determine invasion outcomes and influence the

Feeding Practices, Body Condition, and Estimated Energy Provision in Rescued Loggerhead Sea Turtles (Caretta caretta) at a Mediterranean Rehabilitation Center: A Three‐Year Retrospective Study

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Between 2020 and 2023, 20 loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) were rehabilitated at a Mediterranean center, with estimated target gross energy provision of 11.1–22.2 kcal/kg body weight/day (squid only) and 18.1–36.2 (mixed regimen), energy actually consumed falling within these ranges, and 90% released.

After the Fire, Hope Springs Eternal: Movements and Body Condition of Hermann's Tortoises in a Devastated Landscape

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Rapid assessment of the delayed impacts of fires on endangered species is essential for accurately guiding conservation efforts. After the fire, surviving Hermann's tortoises (Testudo hermanni) showed only minor behavior alterations, and burnt habitats continued to provide them with essential resources.

Diaphany: A Disseminar on Carapace [PDF]

If Philippine cinema, during a time of dictatorial duress, has indeed gathered into its fold allegories of a certain social texture, then contemporary critique must also provide a rather thick notion of allegory itself, in order to describe the quality ...

Comprehensive Analysis of Cyan Soft-Carapace and Red Hard-Carapace Color Variants in Procambarus clarkii: Muscle Quality, Carapace Pigmentation, and Tissue-Specific DGAT2 mRNA Expression

Fishes
Crayfish with cyan soft-carapace and red hard-carapace differ considerably in market value. To investigate the causes underlying this difference in shell color, we selected 120 healthy Procambarus clarkii of similar size (9–10 cm), equally divided by ...

What is (de)politicization and what is wrong with it?

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This article attempts to clarify the meaning of (de)politicization. Politicization sometimes refers to the inappropriate intrusion of partisan loyalties in nonpolitical social domains (affective politicization). Politicization can also constitute an ideal of civic agency and energy (contestatory politicization).

Geometric Morphometrics Reveal Body Shape Variation in Freshwater Shrimps of the Genus Macrobrachium Lacking a Mandibular Palp (Formerly Pseudopalaemon Sollaud, 1911) (Decapoda: Palaemonidae)

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Shape variation in the cephalothorax of Macrobrachium species without mandibular palp using geometric morphometrics was used as a tool to support species differentiation and propose new diagnostic characters for taxonomic identification.

Lactate sequestration in the carapace of the crayfish Austropotamobius pallipes during exposure in air

, 2001
When held in air for up to 24 h, crayfish accumulated Ca(2+) and Mg(2+) in their haemolymph in direct proportion to raised levels of lactate. K(+) levels were highly variable, with elevated levels associated with morbidity.
