The feeding apparatus of Chelus fimbriatus (Pleurodira; Chelidae) – adaptation perfected?
Amphibia-Reptilia, 2010AbstractThe feeding apparatus of the fringed turtle Chelus fimbriatus (Schneider, 1783) was studied to elucidate the feeding mechanics of an aquatic feeding specialist that has never been investigated in detail before, regarding gross morphology. The skull and hyoid apparatus as well as associated musculature were examined by computer tomography and ...

Helminth Assemblages of the Turtle Emydura macquarii (Pleurodira: Chelidae) Queensland, Australia
Journal of Parasitology, 2006The helminth fauna of 76 Emydura macquarii from 3 river systems in central and northern Queensland was examined. Eleven species were found, including 2 nematodes, 6 trematodes, 1 aspidogastrean, 1 cestode, and 1 monogenean. Analysis of helminth diversity showed that the Fitzroy and Ross River turtles had communities of comparable diversity, but the ...

Blood biochemistry and relations among Podocnemis turtles (pleurodira, pelomedusidae)
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1978Agglutination, precipitation and electrophoresis of hemoglobin and serum point to a core of five Podocnemis species (P. erythrocephala, P. expansa, P. lewyana, P. unifilis and P. vogli), with a sixth species (P. sextuberculata) fringing this cluster. 1. 2. In addition, the data indicate that P. dumeriliana and P.

Feeding patterns ofChelus fimbriatus(Pleurodira:Chelidae)
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2002SUMMARYThe kinematics of feeding on fish have been studied in the aquatic feeding specialist Chelus fimbriatus, the fringed turtle, to provide a basic description of complete feeding cycles. Anatomical findings supplement the kinematic results. High-speed video (500 frames s-1) recordings and X-ray film (150 frames s-1) are used to analyse the ...

A new genus of Bothremydidae (Chelonii, Pleurodira) in the Cretaceous of Southwestern Europe
Geobios, 2012Abstract Although the Bothremydidae are the most abundant and diverse group of turtles in the Upper Cretaceous fauna of Europe, the record attributed to the genus Elochelys was, until now, quite scarce. However, the revision of the specimens previously attributed to this taxon and the analysis of new material from the Spanish record significantly ...

Journal of Morphology, 1997
Head kinematics during aquatic feeding of the Australian long-necked turtle (Chelodina) were studied by means of high speed video recordings. Buccal expansion was assessed by calculation of elliptical cross-sectional surfaces. Further, displacements of head, carapace, and prey in the earth bound frame, of the prey relative to the center of the gape ...

Developmental Dynamics, 2009
AbstractUsing the Standard Event System (SES) to study patterns of vertebrate development, we describe a series of 17 embryos of the pleurodire turtle Emydura subglobosa. Based on a sequence heterochrony analysis including 23 tetrapod taxa, we identified autapomorphic developmental shifts that characterise Testudines, Cryptodira, and Pleurodira.

A new species and subgenus of Elseya (Testudines: Pleurodira: Chelidae) from New Guinea
Zootaxa, 2015The New Guinea freshwater turtle, Elseya novaeguineae (senu lato) is a long-term, widespread resident of New Guinea and has been subject to substantial vicariance in one of the most geologically dynamic regions on earth. Thus, it should come as no surprise that the taxonomy of this turtle is poorly resolved. Elseya novaeguineae has long been recognized
