Mitigating the human link in emerging reptile fungal pathogen transmission

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Handling wild reptiles is common among amateur herpetology enthusiasts, professional researchers, social media influencers, and photographers. However, the potential for these interactions to spread diseases that threaten wild reptiles remains underappreciated.

The genome sequence of the Loggerhead sea turtle, Caretta caretta Linnaeus 1758 [version 2; peer review: 2 approved]

F1000Research, 2023
We present a genome assembly of Caretta caretta (the Loggerhead sea turtle; Chordata, Testudines, Cheloniidae), generated from genomic data from two unrelated females. The genome sequence is 2.13 gigabases in size.

Testudines

, 1972
ORDER TESTUDINES The present collection of turtles from the Judith River Formation consists of isolated and fragmentary carapace and plastron plates. These are in most instances inadequate for generic identification and only two genera have been distinguished, namely Trionyx and Basilemys.

Reevaluating the suitability of amphibians and reptiles for translocation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The scale of amphibian and reptile translocations over the past 16 years necessitates a reassessment of current practices since the last major review in 2009. We conducted a literature review of translocations from 2007 to 2023 and identified 313 case studies encompassing conservation‐, mitigation‐, and research‐related translocations.

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

Evolutionary insights in Amazonian turtles (Testudines, Podocnemididae): co-location of 5S rDNA and U2 snRNA and wide distribution of Tc1/Mariner

Biology Open, 2020
Eukaryotic genomes exhibit substantial accumulation of repetitive DNA sequences. These sequences can participate in chromosomal reorganization events and undergo molecular cooption to interfere with the function and evolution of genomes.

An unusual titanosaur axis from the Upper Cretaceous of Brazil and its significance for sauropod anatomy and systematics

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 11, Page 3137-3168, November 2026.
Abstract The Upper Cretaceous São José do Rio Preto Formation (Bauru Group, southeastern Brazil) has yielded a fragmentary but taxonomically diverse record of titanosaur sauropods, although elements from cervical series remain scarce. Here, we describe a nearly complete sauropod axis from the Vila Ventura Paleontological Area, representing an uncommon ...

Unraveling the Relationship Between Nr4a2 and Fezf1 Expression in the Developing Feline Telencephalon Within the Genoarchitectonic Context of Claustral and Amygdalar Development

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 534, Issue 11, November 2026.
To define the emergence of the claustral complex in relation to the expression patterns of Nr4a2 and Fezf1 in the domestic cat, a species with more protracted prenatal development than the mouse, we performed a genoarchitectonic analysis. Nr4a2 marked differentiating claustral neurons within the LPall mantle, whereas Fezf1 was broadly expressed in the ...

DNA barcoding of Brazilian sea turtles (Testudines) [PDF]

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2009
Five out of the seven recognized species of sea turtles (Testudines) occur on the Brazilian coast. The Barcode Initiative is an effort to undertake a molecular inventory of Earth biodiversity. Cytochrome Oxidase c subunit I (COI) molecular tags for sea turtle species have not yet been described.
