Abstract Measurement error (ME) in geometric morphometrics has been the subject of countless articles, but none specific to the effect of time lags on landmark digitization error. Yet, especially for visiting scientists working on museum collections, it is not uncommon to collect data in multiple rounds, with interruptions of weeks or years. To explore

Salmonella infection in healthy pet reptiles: Bacteriological isolation and study of some pathogenic characters [PDF]
The fecal samples from 213 captive reptiles were examined, and 29 (13.61%) Salmonella enterica isolates were detected: 14/62 (22.58%) from chelonians, 14/135 (10.37%) from saurians, and 1/16 (6.25%) from ophidians.

ABSTRACT Aim Tardigrades, commonly known as some of the toughest organisms on Earth, like many other microscopic invertebrates, are often overlooked in biodiversity monitoring. Our study aimed to elucidate the impact of environmental disturbance caused by anthropogenic activity on tardigrade diversity and distributions.

Seasonal Exploitation of Migratory Waterfowl at Natufian el‐Wad Terrace, Mount Carmel, Israel
ABSTRACT Increased avian exploitation is a hallmark of broad‐spectrum subsistence strategies in the Levantine Natufian culture (15,000–11,700 cal. BP). However, detailed publications of bird remains from the Natufian are scant, especially regarding the Early Natufian, and the available evidence shows high inter‐site variability that begs explanation ...

Abstract The alpha‐taxonomy of continental giant tortoises (Testudinidae, Titanochelon) from the European Neogene is far from settled, which has implications for inferring their phylogenetic relationships. The diagnosis of the type species (Titanochelon bolivari) is dubious because it considered Titanochelon richardi as a junior subjective synonym ...

Mr. J. Z. Gilbert ll has described the skull of a species of Testudo from the Loup Fork beds of Kansas and identified it with Prof. Cope`s T. undata, described * from the Loup Fork deposits of New Mexico. Since nothing is known of the latter species except a few marginals and a costal bone, there is really no evidence that the fine skull described by ...

We investigated body size variation in two North African subspecies of spur‐thighed tortoises, Testudo graeca whitei and T. g. marokkensis, in relation to environmental gradients. The subspecies exhibited opposite geographical size patterns consistent with their divergent climatic niches: T. g. marokkensis followed Bergmann's rule, while T. g.
