Biology, Nesting Behavior, Genetic Diversity, and Conservation of Leatherback Sea Turtles: Insights From Thailand and Global Perspectives

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2025.
Sea turtles, including the endangered leatherback, face threats from poaching, habitat loss, and climate change. In Thailand, conservation efforts focus on protecting nesting sites and improving hatchling survival. Leatherbacks, with low genetic diversity and high migratory patterns, require targeted measures to ensure their survival.

Barcoding and traditional health practitioner perspectives are informative to monitor and conserve frogs and reptiles traded for traditional medicine in urban South Africa

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 2, February 2025.
Abstract Previous literature suggests that Indigenous cultural practices, specifically traditional medicine, are commonplace among urban communities contrary to the general conception that such practices are restricted to rural societies. We reviewed previous literature for records of herptiles (frog and reptile species) sold by traditional health ...

A systematic comparative description of extant turtle humeri, with comments on humerus disparity and evolution based on fossil comparisons

The Anatomical Record, Volume 307, Issue 11, Page 3437-3505, November 2024.
Abstract The humerus is central for locomotion in turtles as quadrupedal animals. Osteological variation across testudine clades remains poorly documented. Here, we systematically describe the humerus anatomy for all major extant turtle clades based on 38 species representing the phylogenetic and ecological diversity of crown turtles.
