After All, Size Does Matter: Size and Trachemys Scripta Reproduction Traits at the Western Limit of Its European Distribution

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
‐ Female T. scripta exhibit a clear size‐dependent reproductive investment, where larger plastron length is positively associated with all key reproductive traits. ‐ Female T. scripta reach sexual maturity at a plastron length of approximately 15–18 cm. ABSTRACT In invasive species, reproductive success may determine invasion outcomes and influence the

A Comprehensive Repository of Morphological, Life‐History, Ecological, and Environmental Data for Sirenians and Marine Carnivorans Worldwide

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We constructed a standardized data repository for all 46 species, integrating 56 variables across morphological and physiological, life‐history, ecological, biogeographical, environmental, and conservation dimensions. Additionally, we collected data on body size, coloration, distributional range, and extinction risk for all 22 subspecies.

Feeding Practices, Body Condition, and Estimated Energy Provision in Rescued Loggerhead Sea Turtles (Caretta caretta) at a Mediterranean Rehabilitation Center: A Three‐Year Retrospective Study

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Between 2020 and 2023, 20 loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) were rehabilitated at a Mediterranean center, with estimated target gross energy provision of 11.1–22.2 kcal/kg body weight/day (squid only) and 18.1–36.2 (mixed regimen), energy actually consumed falling within these ranges, and 90% released.

Ecological variability of Hippopotamus antiquus from the late Early–Middle Pleistocene of Megalopolis Basin (Greece): Evidence for dynamic habitats in a glacial microrefugium

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
This study investigates the ecology of the extinct European Hippopotamus from the late Early–Middle Pleistocene (c. 900–400 ka) sequence of the Megalopolis Basin, a glacial microrefugium for temperate taxa in southern Greece. Using stable carbon (δ13C) and oxygen (δ18O) isotope analyses and microwear analyses of Hippopotamus dental elements, we ...
