Evaluation of a portable glucometer for blood glucose measurement in juvenile green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas)

open access: yesAustralian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Blood glucose is a key physiological indicator in sea turtles, but its measurement in field settings can be challenging. Portable point‐of‐care (POC) glucometers offer practicality, yet their agreement with reference laboratory methods has not been established for juvenile green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) from the Southwestern Atlantic.

Beyond the Shell: Reviewing the Ecological and Economic Impact of Trachemys scripta in Europe Over the Past 25 Years

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The introduction of exotic species, alongside habitat degradation and global warming, is one of the most pressing issues in conservation ecology. Trachemys scripta is now widespread throughout Europe after decades of pet trade and releases and is often considered a threat to native freshwater turtles.

Effect of shell type on the composition of chelonian eggs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
This study examined the hypothesis that composition of chelonian eggs, i.e. masses of shell, yolk and albumen, would be influenced by the structure of the eggshell. In particular, because albumen is a store of water in an egg, it was predicted that rigid-

Twenty‐Year Progress in Landscape Genetics of Tetrapods

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Geographic distribution of tetrapod landscape genetics between 2003 and 2025. ABSTRACT Landscape genetics, an interdisciplinary field integrating population genetics, landscape ecology, and spatial analytical techniques, has progressed significantly over two decades, yet systematic reviews of its application to tetrapods remain limited. Here, we review

A Review of the Effects of Freshwater Habitat Quality on Aquatic & Semi‐Aquatic Turtles

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This literature review aims to provide a comprehensive review of the relationship between freshwater turtles and their aquatic environments. We also highlight areas which have been over‐ or under‐studied and offer recommendations for future research. ABSTRACT Freshwater turtles and terrapins require an aquatic habitat as part of their natural ecology ...

Growth and Survival Outcomes for Immature Gopher Tortoises in Contrasting Habitats: A Test of Drone‐Based Habitat Assessment

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Juvenile growth rate is a critical demographic parameter, as it shortens the time to maturity and often dictates how long individuals remain vulnerable to predation.

Mycophagy in the yellow-footed tortoise (Chelonoidis denticulatus): feeding trial experiments at Tijuca National Park (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)

open access: yesLilloa
The act of consuming any part of fungi is termed mycophagy. Certain basidiomes contain highly nutritious elements, such as proteins, vitamins, and minerals, which can be extremely valuable in the animal diet.

Disentangling Temporal and Environmental Effects on Hematological Values in Prairie Rattlesnakes (Crotalus viridis)

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 7, Page 727-734, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Hematologic assessment is a common clinical tool used to characterize both individual and population health. In ectothermic organisms, the hematologic response is influenced by external factors such as temperature and season, especially in temperate species. Yet, specific environmental effects have received little direct attention.
