Shorter telomeres are associated with shell anomalies in a long‐lived tortoise

Journal of Zoology, Volume 323, Issue 1, Page 67-75, May 2024.
Telomere length and its shortening/maintenance/elongation are proposed as a biological indicator of aging, longevity or risk of diseases in many taxa. However, for reptiles, telomere dynamics are not clearly defined. Here, working with wild populations of Testudo graeca, we assess the relation between telomere length and a set of individual ...

ECOMORPHOLOGY OF TORTOISES (Testudo graeca COMPLEX) FROM THE ARAKS RIVER VALLEY

, 2018
We described the high diversity of morphotypes of spur-thighed tortoises (the Testudo graeca complex) that inhabit the Araks River Valley. The habitat conditions of tortoises was highly correlated with their external morphology, where the variety of ...
