The energetics of tortoise muscle
The Journal of Physiology, 1968 1. A study has been made of the mechanical behaviour and the heat production of tortoise skeletal muscle during tetanic contractions.2. The relation between force (P) and velocity (v) is more curved than that of frog muscle. It can be fitted by Hill's equation (v/vmax = (1 ‐ P/P0)/(1 + P/a)) using a value of P0/a considerably less than for frog muscle ...

Business Strategy and the Environment, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 6846-6865, July 2026.ABSTRACT Collaborations with nonprofits can enhance firms' legitimacy, yet the relationship between their communication and corporate environmental legitimacy remains poorly understood. Furthermore, research lacks an analysis of the communication of business‐nonprofit collaborations through multiple actors' perspectives.

Translocation as a Conservation Tool for Agassiz's Desert Tortoises: Survivorship, Reproduction, and Movements [PDF]
, 2020 We translocated 120 Agassiz's desert tortoises to 5 sites in Nevada and Utah to evaluate the effects of translocation on tortoise survivorship, reproduction, and habitat use.

High Early Embryo Mortality and Low Hatching Success Observed in Aldabra Giant Tortoise Populations
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.This preliminary study provides the first population‐level assessment of fertilisation and hatching success in the Aldabra giant tortoise across natural and translocated populations in Seychelles, revealing low and highly variable hatching success—particularly in translocated populations.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.This study tested physiological mechanisms of movement patterns in Gopher Tortoises (Gopherus polyphemus) by using autonomous GPS loggers. Total distance traveled, but not home range area, was physiologically limited. Females traveled the same distance as males, but had smaller home range areas, which challenges traditional understanding of sex‐based ...

Awe in nature fosters science identity and belonging in participatory scientists during an eclipse
People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 7, Page 2295-2303, July 2026.Abstract The interactions between people and nature are complex, with research suggesting that people often report feeling awe in nature, including in relation to eclipses. Less is known about if feelings of awe in nature can drive science outcomes. The current study aimed to understand the relationship between observing a total eclipse in nature, awe ...

CT Anatomy of the Lower Respiratory Tracts of the Testudo graeca
Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.In this study, we used high‐resolution computed tomography (CT) to examine the trachea, bronchi and lungs of Testudo graeca. The tortoises were scanned in two different body positions: When their head, neck and limbs were retracted inside the shell (flexed), and when these body parts were extended outside the shell.
