Plastron‐mounted loggers predict terrestrial turtle body temperature better than carapace‐mounted loggers

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2019
Studies of thermal ecology are imperative for understanding habitat use and selection by animals and can inform management decisions for conservation of species and habitat. Chelonian thermal ecology studies have used carapace measurements as proxies for

Clinical features, surgical management and outcome of squamous and basal cell carcinoma in squamates and chelonians

Background Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is one of the most commonly diagnosed neoplastic disorders in reptiles. Recently, however, it has been demonstrated that basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) are frequently misclassified as SCCs.
