Unveiling the Evolutionary Lineages and Habitat Dynamics of the Monotypic Crowned River Turtle <i>Hardella thurjii</i> (Gray, 1831) (Testudines: Geoemydidae): Strategic Conservation Insights for an Endangered Freshwater Turtle From Southern Asia. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study provides the first complete mitochondrial genome of the monotypic H. thurjii , sequenced using next‐generation technologies. Additionally, it employs ensemble species distribution modeling to evaluate habitat suitability and shape geometry under both current and projected climatic scenarios.

Prehatch Calls and Coordinated Birth in Turtles. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe study investigates the phylogenetic distribution of within‐egg vocal behaviour among turtles and its role in synchronous hatching. Clutches from six turtle species with diverse ecological and reproductive niches were recorded, aiming to understand if asynchronous species vocalise from within the egg, the influence of clutch size on synchronous ...

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 812-828, September 2023., 2023 Abstract Minimising the unintended capture of fish, marine mammals, reptiles, seabirds and other marine organisms is an important component of responsible fisheries management and for stabilising declines and rebuilding populations of threatened species.

The Anatomical Record, Volume 306, Issue 6, Page 1228-1303, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Turtles are a charismatic reptile group with a peculiar body plan, which most notably includes the shell. Anatomists have often focused descriptive efforts on the shell and other strongly derived body parts, such as the akinetic skull, or the cervical vertebrae.

Deep‐time invention and hydrodynamic convergences through amniote flipper evolution
The Anatomical Record, Volume 306, Issue 6, Page 1323-1355, June 2023., 2023 Abstract The diapsid plesiosaurs were pelagic and inhabited the oceans from the Triassic to the Cretaceous. A key evolutionary character of plesiosaurs is the four wing‐like flippers. While it is mostly accepted that plesiosaurs were underwater fliers like marine turtles, penguins, and maybe whales, other swimming styles have been suggested in the past.

Evidence of backcross inviability and mitochondrial DNA paternal leakage in sea turtle hybrids
Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 3, Page 628-643, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Hybridization is known to be part of many species' evolutionary history. Sea turtles have a fascinating hybridization system in which species separated by as much as 43 million years are still capable of hybridizing. Indeed, the largest nesting populations in Brazil of loggerheads (Caretta caretta) and hawksbills (Eretmochelys imbricata) have ...

Comparative cranial morphology of the Late Cretaceous protostegid sea turtle Desmatochelys lowii [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Background The phylogenetic placement of Cretaceous marine turtles, especially Protostegidae, is still under debate among paleontologists. Whereas protostegids were traditionally thought to be situated within the clade of recent marine turtles ...

Influence of incubation temperature on morphology and locomotion performance of Leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea) hatchlings [PDF]
, 2010 The journey of Leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea (Vandelli, 1761)) hatchlings from nest to the sea is a vulnerable life-history stage. Studies have shown that nest incubation temperatures influence hatchling morphology and locomotor performance, which ...
