Mycoplasma agassizii Multilocus Sequence Typing Using Nanopore Sequencing: Insights Into Genetic Diversity and Isolate Characterization. [PDF]
Ann N Y Acad SciABSTRACT Mycoplasma agassizii (Mycoplasmopsis agassizii) is a major pathogen responsible for upper respiratory tract disease (URTD) in tortoises, contributing to worldwide population declines. Despite its significance, tools for strain‐level identification and epidemiological tracking remain limited.

Behavioral and Morphological Adaptations of Tortoise Tick <i>Hyalomma aegyptium</i> to <i>Testudo graeca</i>: Evidence for Complex Evolutionary History. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIn this study, we examined the infestation characteristics of the tick species Hyalomma aegyptium on its specific host, the spur‐thighed tortoise Testudo graeca, to investigate the principles of behavioral and morphological adaptation and its ecological consequences.

Drivers of Thermal Habitat Use in Turtles Studied Under Semi-Natural Conditions. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe 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.

Crossmodal Pitch-Luminance Association in Tortoises. [PDF]
Ann N Y Acad SciHermann's tortoises matched high‐pitched sounds with white and low‐pitched sounds with black in a spontaneous choice task. This mirrors pitch‐luminance associations seen in humans and chimpanzees. The findings suggest that such crossmodal associations may arise from shared perceptual processes across distantly related species, pointing to possible ...

Review of the herpetofauna of Attica, mainland Greece [PDF]
Herpetozoa, 2021 Although the insular distribution of the rich herpetofauna of Greece has been studied more extensively, the mainland one is still underexplored. The region of Attica in central Greece represents one of these “black spots” in the mainland.
