Reproductive ecology of the endangered Beal’s-eyed turtle, Sacalia bealei [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 The Beal’s-eyed turtle (Sacalia bealei) is endemic to southeastern China and endangered due to poaching and habitat loss. Knowledge of S. bealei ecology is lacking and this study provides baseline information of its reproduction in a natural environment.

Gonadal development in scorpion mud‐turtles, Kinosternon scorpioides, in a controlled environment
The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 11, Page 3455-3466, November 2026.Stage 20 was identified as the critical point for gonadal differentiation in Kinosternon scorpioides, providing key insights into sex determination. These findings enhance conservation strategies by supporting reproductive management and population viability in both in situ and ex situ programs. Abstract Research on gonadal development including sexual

Clinical management of a severe skull fracture in a loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta)
Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4, November 2026.Abstract A 30.6 kg loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) presented with a 2–3‐week‐old deep head wound, left neck and right cubital lacerations, and carapace fractures. Haematology revealed a marked leukocytosis, with other values unremarkable. Initial wound‐cleaning, an antibiotic course, fluids and vitamin B supplementation were initiated. Computed

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 10, Page 2790-2837, October 2026.Abstract Softshell turtles (Pan‐Trionychidae) are an early branching clade of hidden‐necked turtles (Cryptodira) with a rich fossil record extending back to the Early Cretaceous. The evolutionary history of softshell turtles is still unresolved because of their conservative morphology combined with high levels of polymorphism related to morphological ...

Sex‐Biased Interactions Between Spur‐Thighed Tortoises (Testudo graeca) and Hindgut Nematodes
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.Tortoise (Testudo graeca) responses to nematode infestation are clearly sex‐biased, where females seem more resilient to nematode infestation than males. These findings emphasizes the need for sex‐directed conservation approaches in tortoises. ABSTRACT The nature of endosymbiont interactions is driven by different ecological and evolutionary processes.

Plastron State and Drag Reduction of High-Performance Superhydrophobic (SHPo) Surfaces in High-Speed Turbulent Flows on Open Water [PDF]
, 2022 Superhydrophobic (SHPo) surfaces, which may capture a thin air layer (called plastron) on them underwater, have been studied over the last two decades most notably due to their potential drag-reducing ability for water vessels.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.A rare case of polyembryonic triplets in a wild green turtle (Chelonia mydas) nest demonstrates how multiple embryos can develop within a single egg under natural conditions. Morphological and embryological evidence, including independent yolk vasculature and marked asymmetry among embryos, support a monozygotic origin and highlight developmental ...
