Impacts of exurban sprawl: The effects of the perceptions and practices of new residents toward the spur‐thighed tortoise (Testudo graeca)

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2012
Urbanization is one of the main drivers threatening biodiversity. Together with the direct effects of exurban sprawl (e.g., habitat loss), the behavior of new residents may have important implications for species conservation.

Blood cells morphology of Testudo graeca and Testudo hermanni (Testudines: Testudinidae) from Turkey

, 2015
Here, the morphology of peripheral blood cells (erythrocytes, leukocytes and thrombocytes) of Testudo graeca and T. hermanni was studied in Wright's stained blood smears. In both species, heterophils were notable as dominant cells in blood smears.
