Variation and development of the turtle chondrocranium, with a description of the common musk turtle (Sternotherus odoratus, Kinosternidae, Cryptodira, Testudines)

The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 7, Page 1994-2037, July 2025.
Abstract Based on histological cross‐sections, the chondrocranium of the common musk turtle (Sternotherus odoratus) was reconstructed, described, and compared with other turtles. It differs from that of other turtle chondrocrania by possessing elongated, slightly dorsally orientated nasal capsules with three dorsolateral foramina, which might be ...

Formation of the genital ridges is preceded by a domain of ectopic Sox9-expressing cells in Lepidochelys olivacea

Developmental Biology, 2012
Bipotential gonads represent the structural framework from which alternative molecular sex determination networks have evolved. Maintenance of Sox9 expression in Sertoli cells is required for the structural and functional integrity of male gonads in mammals and probably in most amniote vertebrates.

Assessing Applicability of eDNA‐Based Sampling for Population Monitoring of Leatherback Turtles in the Northeast Indian Ocean

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 4, July–August 2025.
We evaluated the feasibility of environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling to obtain mitochondrial haplotype data for leatherback turtles at three nesting sites in Sumatra, Indonesia. Our results demonstrate that eDNA‐based sampling can reliably capture haplotypes identical to those from tissue samples and that eDNA persists in seawater for up to 12 h post ...

Microplastic Occurrence in the Diet of Green Sea Turtles (Chelonia mydas) From the Coastal Region of São Paulo, Brazil

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) represent the main vector of pollution in the marine environment. Originating from the slow degradation process of plastics into smaller particles, MPs vary in size between 1 and 5 mm. Their ability to adsorb and transport contaminants, disperse invasive organisms and be accidentally ingested by marine animals makes these ...
