, 2003 Twenty-four (16>, 8+) specimens of the Mediterranean spur-thighed tortoise Testudo graeca were examined from Mardin, southeastern Turkey. For morphological comparisons, 15 morphometric characters and 31 ratios developed by combinations of straight carapace length (SCL) and straight carapace width (SCW) were investigated.

The basal ganglia of Testudo Graeca
Journal of Comparative Neurology, 1967AbstractThe basal ganglia of Testudo Graeca consist of upper and lower elevations in the side wall of the cerebral hemisphere. In the lower elevation is the medial forebrain bundle, and its hypothalamic connections suggest it may be concerned with visceral activities. In the upper elevation is the lateral forebrain bundle suggesting its connections are

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.

British Veterinary Journal, 1987
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.

Alanine influx across serosal border of Testudo graeca intestine
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 1980The influx of alanine across the serosal membrane of Testudo graeca intestinal cells with preserved epithelial orientation was examined. Our results suggest that: 1. The mechanism of alanine influx across the serosal membrane of turtle intesintal cells is a carrier-mediated process that has the characteristics of facilitated diffusion. 2.

The Mechanism of Lung Ventilation in the Tortoise Testudo Graeca Linne
Journal of Experimental Biology, 1967ABSTRACT An account is given of the gross structure of the respiratory system and of the principal muscles involved in ventilation of the tortoise, Testudo graeca. The mechanism of ventilation was investigated by electrophysiological methods.

Chloride transport across the isolated intestinal mucosa of Testudo graeca
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology, 1970Abstract 1. 1. The mucosa-serosa and serosa-mucosa chloride transports measured in short-circuited adjacent tracts of Greek tortoise jejunal epithelium show a marked inhibition in the presence of DNP 10 −4 M. 2. 2. Both fluxes are significantly increased by the addition of glucose 5·5 × 10 −3 M if the epithelium is previously incubated in a

RAPD variation in Mediterranean turtle Testudo graeca L. (Testudinidae)
Russian Journal of Genetics, 2004The polymerase chain reaction with arbitrary primers (RAPD-PCR) was used to study intraspecific variation in Mediterranean turtle Testudo graeca, which is represented by the Dagestan (T. g. pallasi) and Nikolskii (T. g. nikolskii) subspecies in Russia. To study the phylogenetic relationships, the RAPD variation was also compared in two other T.
