Unveiling the Evolutionary Lineages and Habitat Dynamics of the Monotypic Crowned River Turtle Hardella thurjii (Gray, 1831) (Testudines: Geoemydidae): Strategic Conservation Insights for an Endangered Freshwater Turtle From Southern Asia

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
This study provides the first complete mitochondrial genome of the monotypic H. thurjii , sequenced using next‐generation technologies. Additionally, it employs ensemble species distribution modeling to evaluate habitat suitability and shape geometry under both current and projected climatic scenarios.

Prehatch Calls and Coordinated Birth in Turtles

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2024.
The study investigates the phylogenetic distribution of within‐egg vocal behaviour among turtles and its role in synchronous hatching. Clutches from six turtle species with diverse ecological and reproductive niches were recorded, aiming to understand if asynchronous species vocalise from within the egg, the influence of clutch size on synchronous ...

A genomic framework to assist conservation breeding and translocation success: A case study of a critically endangered turtle

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 6, Issue 10, October 2024.
Conservation breeding programs often follow six stages proposed by Dick Frankham and colleagues. Although this framework is useful, it is challenging for conservation managers to understand the value of using genetic data for their management actions. Here, we aim to assist managers to incorporate genetic and genomic data into actionable conservation ...

The topological organization of the turtle cranium is constrained and conserved over long evolutionary timescales

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 307, Issue 8, Page 2713-2748, August 2024.
Abstract The cranium of turtles (Testudines) is characterized by the secondary reduction of temporal fenestrae and loss of cranial joints (i.e., characteristics of anapsid, akinetic skulls). Evolution and ontogeny of the turtle cranium are associated with shape changes.
