Redécouverte du type deDermochelys coriacea(Vandelli) (Testudinata, Dermochelyidae)

Bolletino di zoologia, 1980
Abstract Finding of the type of Dermochelys coriacea (Vandelli) (Testudinata, Dermochelyidae). Dermochelys coriacea, the Leatherback, was first described by Vandelli, in 1761, and only later by Linnaeus, in 1766. The type, coming from the Tyrrhenian coast near Rome, is still preserved in Padua University Museum.

Incorporating phylogenetic uncertainty on phylogeny-based palaeontological dating and the timing of turtle diversification [PDF]

, 2012
Methods improving the performance of molecular dating of divergence time of clades have improved dramatically in recent years. The calibration of molecular dating using the first appearance of a clade in the fossil record is a crucial step towards ...

An Eocene Leatherback Turtle (Cryptodira: Dermochelyidae) from Seymour Island, Antarctica

, 1995
[EN] The outcrops of La Meseta Formation from Seymour Island yielded the first Antarctic fossil remains of Dermochelyid. It consist of isolated platelets and a small portion of the shell of epithecal nature. This epithecal armor is only known in Middle- Upper Eocene to Recent members of the family Dermochelyidae among the turtles.

Chromosome‐Level Genome Assemblies of Two Softshell Turtles with ZZ/ZW Provide Insights into TE‐Driven Recombination Suppression in Sex Chromosomes

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study presents the first genomic identification and characterization of ZW sex chromosomes in two soft‐shelled turtle species through genome assembly and resequencing. We reveal the structural organization of ZW chromosomes, identifying both pseudoautosomal regions (PARs) and differentiated regions.

Island‐restricted reptiles are more threatened but less studied than their mainland counterparts

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Reptiles are highly diverse on islands, yet there is no comprehensive overview of island‐restricted reptiles (IRRs) regarding their distribution, threat status, and research efforts. Our assessment revealed that despite IRRs comprising nearly a quarter of global reptile species and 30.8% being threatened, only 7.2% of the literature focuses on them ...
