Cranial ecomorphology of turtles and neck retraction as a possible trigger of ecological diversification. [PDF]

Evolution, 2022
Abstract Turtles have a highly modified body plan, including a rigid shell that constrains postcranial anatomy. Skull morphology and neck mobility may therefore be key to ecological specialization in turtles. However, the ecological signal of turtle skull morphologies has not been rigorously evaluated, leaving uncertainties about the roles of ...

Neuroanatomical study of the podocnemidid turtle Neochelys arenarum (Pleurodira), from the early Eocene of France. [PDF]

Anat Rec (Hoboken)
Abstract Neochelys is an exclusively European Eocene podocnemidid genus belonging to a linage that reached this continent at the early Eocene. The so far available anatomical information about it is relatively abundant, especially considering that of its shell, at least partially preserved for the eight valid species currently considered.

Functional and Character Disparity Are Decoupled in Turtle Mandibles. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Here, we compare functional disparity measured by biomechanical proxies and character disparity measured by discrete morphological characters in turtle jaws. Exploration of mandibular patterns reveals that several biomechanical configurations or character state combinations can lead to the same feeding type (i.e., convergence) or that high functional ...

Wild animals used as food medicine in Brazil. [PDF]

Evid Based Complement Alternat Med, 2013
The connection between eating and healing is common in traditional folk medical systems, and the multiple possibilities resulting from the combination of biodiversity and culture confer a wealth and complexity in terms of knowledge of the flora and fauna as to their potential as food medicine.

A systematic compendium of turtle mandibular anatomy using digital dissections of soft tissue and osteology

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.

Temporal and Spatial Stability on the Population Structure of Consumed and Illegally Traded Big-Headed Amazon River Turtle in the Negro River Basin, Central Amazon, Brazil

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Freshwater turtles are a valuable food resource for riverine human communities and have been historically overharvested throughout all major tropical large river basins, with consequent gradual population decreases. Even species considered to be abundant
