Long‐term management of extensive plastron thermal burn with surgical debridement and negative pressure wound therapy in an African spurred tortoise (Centrochelys sulcata)

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, August 2026.
Abstract An adult, male African spurred tortoise (Centrochelys sulcata) was presented for evaluation of severe thermal burns of the plastron, approximately 5 months after an enclosure fire. On presentation, limbs were ulcerated, and the plastron was soft to touch with necrotic tissue and purulent discharge.

From Genes to Greens: How Diet, Climate and Phylogeny Shape Freshwater Turtle Microbiotas

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 8, August 2026.
Gut microbiotas of 234 Australian freshwater turtles vary with diet, climate and evolutionary history. Carnivorous turtles hosted richer, distinct microbial communities compared with omnivores, while climate zones shaped phylum‐level patterns. Ecological factors dominated over phylogeny, highlighting the importance of integrating microbiome and dietary

Umbilical Cord: A Non‐Invasive DNA Source for Sea Turtle Genomics

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 6, August 2026.
ABSTRACT High‐throughput sequencing has revolutionised conservation genomics by enabling genome‐wide information even in non‐model species. However, obtaining non‐invasive samples for genomics remains challenging in species like sea turtles, which spend most of their lives in the open ocean.

First evidence of leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) embryos and hatchlings emitting sounds [PDF]

, 2014
There are only a few studies documenting acoustic communication in chelonians; here we provide additional evidence that sound plays an important role in the interchange of information in this group.

Tourism, human–wildlife interactions, and wildlife trade in the globalizing Amazon

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
Tourism in the globalizing Peruvian Amazon contributes to harmful human–wildlife interactions and the wildlife trade, with tourists participating in activities such as handling wildlife, taking selfies with animals, purchasing live animals, and wild meat consumption.

CT Anatomy of the Lower Respiratory Tracts of the Testudo graeca

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
In this study, we used high‐resolution computed tomography (CT) to examine the trachea, bronchi and lungs of Testudo graeca. The tortoises were scanned in two different body positions: When their head, neck and limbs were retracted inside the shell (flexed), and when these body parts were extended outside the shell.

A Multispecies Systematic and Critical Review of Intranasal Administration in Veterinary Anaesthesia and Emergency Care: Promising Evidence and Overlooked Challenges

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
This review evaluates the clinical potential and limitations of intranasal (IN) drug administration in veterinary anaesthesia and emergency care. IN delivery can provide clinically relevant sedation, analgesia and drug reversal, but its success is not universally reliable and is strongly influenced by species‐specific anatomy, formulation ...

Retrospective Analysis of Hatchling Success From Chelonian Eggs at a North Carolina Wildlife Clinic 2010 to 2023

Zoo Biology, Volume 45, Issue 4, Page 426-434, July/August 2026.
Retrospective analysis of chelonian eggs collected from gravid females admitted to a North Carolina wildlife clinic (2010–2023). A total of 2,453 eggs were harvested from live, euthanized, and deceased patients and incubated under standardized conditions, resulting in 38.9% hatching success.

Mid‐Domain Effect and Wooded Habitat Shape Mediterranean Reptile Communities

Biological Diversity, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 65-82, June 2026.
Analyzing a large number of reptiles observed across protected areas in Central Italy, we tested whether the mid‐domain effect explains hump‐shaped richness–elevation patterns. Species richness was best predicted by the combined influence of geometric constraints and woodland cover, revealing two contrasting species clusters and offering a robust ...
