Testudo graeca graeca feeding ecology in an arid and overgrazed zone in Morocco
Journal of Arid Environments, 2006Terrestrial chelonians of arid regions are frequently faced with highly variable food quality and/or quantity and these problems could be aggravated in overgrazing areas. Then, it is crucial for species conservation to possess precise data on feeding ecology. In this paper, we provide the first quantitative data on Testudo graeca graeca feeding ecology,

ABSTRACTNormal bodyweight and carapace lengths for two species of tortoise are presented and a comparison made with changes in bodyweight in sick tortoises. Using these parameters veterinary surgeons will have guidelines for assessing the degree of debility in a tortoise of any age or size. A number of examples are given.

Ultrastructure of the respiratory epithelium in the lungs of the tortoise, Testudo graeca
Cell and Tissue Research, 1977The respiratory epithelium in the lungs of the tortoise (Testudo graeca) has been studied by electron microscopy. The epithelium consists of a mosaic of two different cell types (here called "pneumonocytes"). Type I pneumonocytes are roughly squamous and possess attenuated flanges of cytoplasm which extend over the septal capillaries.

The mortality of tortoises in pet shops during 1982 and 1983 was calculated from records maintained as required under section 6 of the Endangered Species (Import and Export) Act 1976. The mean mortality rate in 1982 was 4·2% and 2·8% in 1983. Mortality was related to the number of tortoises delivered and sold as well as to poor conditions in the ...

Reference values for a variety of haematological parameters in 18 Mediterranean tortoises of two species (Testudo graeca and Testudo hermanni) were determined on six occasions during the year. Statistically significant seasonal variations were demonstrated in all parameters.
