Basic and Applied Herpetology, 2022 Due to phenotypic plasticity and sex-biased selective pressures, intraspecific variation in tortoise morphology is usually assessed by studying sexual dimorphism. However, inferences may differ based on the choice of shell size measurements for analyses.

The oldest evidence of Testudo graeca (Testudinidae) in the Iberian Peninsula
The Anatomical Record, 2022 The Testudo graeca (i.e., Greek Tortoise or Spur‐thighed Tortoise) origin in Western Europe is a subject of debate within the scientific community. The species is a part of the current Spanish biodiversity, with three isolated populations, located in the

A new species of a bony spur-thighed tortoise from the Early Pliocene (MN15) of Jradzor site, Armenia, and the origin of the Testudo graeca (Testudines, Testudinidae) complex [PDF]
Swiss Journal of PalaeontologyThe origin of the Testudo graeca complex has been suggested to be in the Caucasus. Poor fossil records and incomplete preservation of available fossils limit deep-time reconstructions of the paleobiogeographic history of the complex.
