Symmetry-Breaking Stabilities in Carapace Curvature on Testudo (Reptilia, Testudinidae)

open access: yesAnimals, 2022
The aim of this research was to contribute to the study of the doming geometry of Testudo carapace as an unstable point of equilibrium when animals are overturned.

Similarities and differences in adult tortoises: a morphological approach and its implication for reproduction and mobility between species

open access: yesActa Herpetologica, 2007
Sexes in Chelonia display marked differences. Sexual size dimorphism (SSD) is important in evolutionary biology. Different sexual strategies result in species specific selection. Biometric variation in male and female tortoises of two species is studied.

Evaluation of gv26 electrical acupuncture stimulation on anesthetic recovery time of spur-thighed tortoise (testudo graeca) [PDF]

open access: yesKafkas Universitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Dergisi, 2023
Recovery time from anesthesia can be extended in reptiles, consequently patients undergoing general anesthesia, require prolonged monitoring period which increases the probability of postoperative complications.

The shell measurements that best describe sexual dimorphism in the spur-thighed tortoise Testudo graeca from Algeria

open access: yesBasic and Applied Herpetology, 2022
Due to phenotypic plasticity and sex-biased selective pressures, intraspecific variation in tortoise morphology is usually assessed by studying sexual dimorphism. However, inferences may differ based on the choice of shell size measurements for analyses.

A Case of Angusticaecum holopterum (Rudolphi, 1819) in a Turtle (Testudo graeca)

open access: yesTürkiye Parazitoloji Dergisi, 2020

Interannual variations in diet and nutritional value of plants consumed by the Souss Valley tortoises, Testudo graeca graeca, in west-central Morocco: are they really selective foragers?

open access: yesAmphibia-Reptilia, 2023
A previous study on the feeding habits of Moorish tortoises in west-central Morocco suggests that these animals are selective herbivores, but the nutritional consequences have not been examined.

Hyalomma aegyptium: Observed global distribution, imported specimens, preferred hosts and vector competence

open access: yesTicks and Tick-Borne Diseases
The tortoise tick Hyalomma aegyptium (Linnaeus, 1758) is a three-host tick, predominantly infesting land tortoises of the genus Testudo. A database was compiled, resulting in 557 H. aegyptium georeferenced locations in the Palearctic. This dataset covers
