Shell bone histology of solemydid turtles (stem Testudines): palaeoecological implications [PDF]

, 2021
Lately, solemydid turtles have been repeatedly recovered as stem Testudines, indicating that they belong to neither one of the two major branches of crown turtles, the Pancryptodira and Panpleurodira.

Morphology and osteo‐histology of the weigeltisaurid wing: Implications for aerial locomotion in the world's first gliding reptiles

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 5, Page 843-872, May 2026.
This study investigates the morphology and osteo‐histology of the wing skeleton of the world's first gliding reptiles, showing how it differs from those of extant gliding lizards, yet is also convergently similar. These findings pave the way for future biomechanical studies on the gliding locomotion of these emblematic fossil animals. Abstract The Late

Inferred presence of extraoral tissues in Triassic archosauromorphs and the evolutionary implications for the clade Sauropsida

Palaeontology, Volume 69, Issue 3, 2026.
Abstract Recent work has suggested that the presence of extraoral soft tissues (‘lips’), in the form of labial scales in theropod dinosaurs, could be inferred based on: anteroposteriorly distributed foramina in the rostral bones, similar to extant lepidosaurs; vertically projected teeth; uniform enamel thickness in maxillary teeth; and an allometric ...

Drivers of Thermal Habitat Use in Turtles Studied Under Semi‐Natural Conditions

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We quantify thermal habitat use in nine turtle species by recording environmental temperatures experienced by individuals in semi‐natural settings. Thermal habitat use differed among species and higher temperatures were generally used by larger animals, pointing to behavioral mechanisms that may influence species responses to environmental change. This

Ecologia e conservação dos testudines, nordeste do Brasil. [PDF]

, 2013
Estudos que visem investigar a ecologia e diversidade genética das populações de testudines são essenciais para avaliar a resposta das comunidades aquáticas dos testudines aos impactos antrópicos e as modificações nos habitats destes animais.

Computed tomography for evaluation of the normal lung in adult male terrapins of five captive species

Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia
Data on the tomographic characteristics of lung parenchyma in terrapins are rare. The objective of this study was to describe the tomographic anatomy of the lung parenchyma in five species of terrapins and estimate the normal CT attenuation values of the

Ontogenia dos ossos da cintura peitoral e membros torácicos em embriões de Podocnemis unifilis

Revista de Biologia Neotropical, 2017
Os Testudines abrangem um grupo restrito que combinam aspectos primitivos e derivados, por exemplo, no esqueleto de seus membros. Para descrever a ontogenia do esqueleto da cintura peitoral e dos membros torácicos de Podocnemis unifilis, 66 embriões ...

66 | THE EVOLUTION OF NEURONAL SCALING IN AMNIOTES

European Journal of Histochemistry
Similarly sized brains can be made of highly different neuron numbers, that is along the evolution of amniotes multiple shifts in the evolution of the scaling relationships between brain-size vs brain-neurons should have occurred to justify the diversity
