The identity of Chelodina oblonga Gray 1841 (Testudines: Chelidae) reassessed [PDF]
Zootaxa, 2020 The identity of Chelodina oblonga has been unclear because it has been variously defined to include populations of snake-necked chelid turtle from the southwest of Western Australia, across northern Australia, Cape York and southern New Guinea in its broadest conception, from just the northern part of this range (northern Australia and New Guinea), or ...

Prehatch Calls and Coordinated Birth in Turtles. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe study investigates the phylogenetic distribution of within‐egg vocal behaviour among turtles and its role in synchronous hatching. Clutches from six turtle species with diverse ecological and reproductive niches were recorded, aiming to understand if asynchronous species vocalise from within the egg, the influence of clutch size on synchronous ...

Assessment of a Social Media-Based Method for Determining Raptor Diet. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study mined social media as a citizen science method to reduce the time burden and biases associated with recording accurate diet information for predators. In total, 1985 prey observations were recorded of two Australian coastal raptors and were used to produce diet profiles that were compared by region, social media platform, and against other ...

Shell Constraints on Evolutionary Body Size-Limb Size Allometry Can Explain Morphological Conservatism in the Turtle Body Plan. [PDF]
Ecol EvolTurtle body size and limb size scale nearly isometrically along the group's evolution, although major deviations are only seen in highly specialized ecological or morphological groups. The evolution of the shell constrained turtle body proportions, as they show lower rates of variance accumulation in these allometries than other more diverse and ...

Variation and development of the turtle chondrocranium, with a description of the common musk turtle (Sternotherus odoratus, Kinosternidae, Cryptodira, Testudines). [PDF]
Anat Rec (Hoboken)Abstract Based on histological cross‐sections, the chondrocranium of the common musk turtle (Sternotherus odoratus) was reconstructed, described, and compared with other turtles. It differs from that of other turtle chondrocrania by possessing elongated, slightly dorsally orientated nasal capsules with three dorsolateral foramina, which might be ...

A Genomic-Based Workflow for eDNA Assay Development for a Critically Endangered Turtle, Myuchelys georgesi. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe designed eDNA primers for the critically endangered Bellinger River turtle (Myuchelys georgesi) using a bioinformatically assembled mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) derived from a reference genome. We validated these eDNA primers in silico, in vitro and in situ.

Neuroanatomical study of the podocnemidid turtle Neochelys arenarum (Pleurodira), from the early Eocene of France. [PDF]
Anat Rec (Hoboken)Abstract Neochelys is an exclusively European Eocene podocnemidid genus belonging to a linage that reached this continent at the early Eocene. The so far available anatomical information about it is relatively abundant, especially considering that of its shell, at least partially preserved for the eight valid species currently considered.
