Phylogenetically‐Informed Crayfish Conservation in the Face of Climate Change

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Crayfish are a vital part of freshwater ecosystems, yet one third of assessed species are threatened with extinction, and almost 90% are highly sensitive to climate change. In this study, we produced a phylogenetically‐informed species prioritisation for crayfish conservation and explored the impacts of projected climate change scenarios on crayfish ...

Species‐Specific Genetic Patterns in Sympatric Freshwater Turtles Challenge a Generalized Multi‐Species Conservation Approach

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
We compared genetic diversity and spatial genetic structure in the snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina; left panel), Blanding's turtle (Emydoidea blandingii; bottom right), and spotted turtle (Clemmys guttata; top right) sampled in areas of co‐occurrence across ~49,160 km2.

Are freshwater turtles macro-epibionts indicators of water quality of the streams where the turtles live? [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
Organisms that live above others can give information not only about the relation between them but also about the environment they inhabit. In that sense, this work studies the relationship between epibionts living on freshwater turtles and the impact ...

Biometric Analysis of Giant and Large Murid Remains From Matja Kuru 2, Timor‐Leste

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Published research on Matja Kuru 2 (MK2) demonstrates its significance for understanding human lifestyle during the terminal Pleistocene and Holocene. Murids represent the most commonly identified taxa in the site, with specimens preliminarily classified as small, large and giant based on size comparisons.

Emergence of Ophidiomyces ophidiicola, Nannizziopsis barbatae and Paranannizziopsis in free‐ranging Australian reptiles

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Emerging fungal diseases pose a threat to reptiles globally. Increasing detections of onygenalean fungi, particularly Ophidiomyces ophidiicola, Nannizziopsis spp. and Paranannizziopsis spp. in clinically diseased free‐ranging reptiles, indicate likely ongoing spread within wild reptile populations.

Terrestrial habitat requirements of nesting freshwater turtles

Biological Conservation, 2012
Because particular life history traits affect species vulnerability to development pressures, cross-species summaries of life history traits are useful for generating management guidelines. Conservation of aquatic turtles, many members of which are regionally or globally imperiled, requires knowing the extent of upland habitat used for nesting ...

Evolutionary Ecology of Freshwater Turtles

, 2007
This long-term study explores the evolution of life history traits(e.g. reproductive traits such as mating system, migratory behavior,sex determination, demography) and the footprint that those traits leave on the genetic makeup of populations(e.g. genetic differentiation, gene flow) to understand the ecological and evolutionary significance of trait ...
