Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Effectively illustrates the sexual size dimorphism in males and females of endangered Mauremys reevesii. ABSTRACT The age structure of animal populations plays a pivotal role in understanding their demographic dynamics and reproductive potential. Although carapace growth ring analysis is widely used to estimate turtle ages, environmental variability ...

Dog attacks on wild desert tortoises: A risk model
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.Domestic dogs attack and severely injure wild desert tortoises at the urban and ex‐urban interface with deserts. Severe trauma to tortoises increased 4 times to shell and limbs and 16.5 times to the gular horn over the decades between the 1970s and 2000s. Tortoises were at exponential risk of severe trauma when living within 12 km of settlements, towns,

Population dynamics, survival, and movements of Texas tortoises in a national park in southern Texas
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.Texas tortoise abundance in a small national park in South Texas, USA, declined by >25%, from an estimated 273 tortoises in 2014 to 204 tortoises in 2024. The severity of the decline varied across survey units, but abundance remained highest in areas having greater canopy cover and experiencing less invasion by Guinea grass.
