Cranial ecomorphology of turtles and neck retraction as a possible trigger of ecological diversification

Evolution, Volume 76, Issue 11, Page 2566-2586, November 2022., 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 ...

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

A small podocnemidoid (Pleurodira, Pelomedusoides) from the Late Cretaceous of Brazil, and the innervation and carotid circulation of side‐necked turtles

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 6, Issue 2, Page 329-347, May 2020., 2020
Abstract Pleurodires are less diverse than cryptodires, together forming the two major lineages of crown turtles. Their fossil record, however, is rich. A particularly large number of fossil pleurodires, many belonging to the Podocnemidoidae, has been recovered from the Upper Cretaceous Bauru Group outcrops of south‐central Brazil.
