Human Impact on Microinvertebrate Diversity and Distributions: Questioning the Resilience of Tardigrades

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 12, December 2025.
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

open access: yesInternational Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 35, Issue 6, Page 555-570, November/December 2025.
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 ...

New remains of Titanochelon richardi (Testudines, Testudinidae) from the Upper Miocene of the Vallès‐Penedès Basin: taxonomic and phylogenetic implications

open access: yesPapers in Palaeontology, Volume 11, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
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 ...

Changes in Plasma Chemistry Parameters in Hermann's Tortoises (Testudo hermanni) Influenced by Season and Sex

open access: yesJournal of Herpetological Medicine and Surgery, 2019
The metabolism of tortoises is influenced by many factors, which in turn also influences the clinical chemistry parameters in these animals. There are currently limited data available on species, sex, and season-specific reference intervals.

Opposite geographical body size patterns in two subspecies of spur‐thighed tortoises in North Africa match climatic niche divergence

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, Volume 327, Issue 3, Page 248-258, November 2025.
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.

The Study of Ectoparasites and Mesoparasites in Turtles (Testudo Graeca Graeca) in the Region of Laghouat (South of Algeria)

open access: yes, 2020
This study was carried out in order to identify the different parasites (ecto and mesoparasites) infesting the tortoise Testudo graeca graeca. For this, a population of 24 tortoises was studied from mid-March to May 2018, in the region of Aflou-Laghouat,

Morphological variability of the Hermann's tortoise (Testudo hermanni) in the Central Balkans

open access: yesActa Herpetologica, 2012
Variation in a number of morphological characters were analysed in five populations of Testudo hermanni from Serbia and Montenegro. Tortoises from Serbia appeared significantly larger than those from Montenegro.
