Microbiome varies by body site in the yellow mud turtle, Kinosternon flavescens, from the Chihuahuan Desert [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum
Microbiomes are important to the ecology and evolution of their associated animal hosts. These important functions range broadly from individual animal health to population-level adaptations.

Green and hawksbill turtle detection and abundance at foraging grounds in Bonaire, Caribbean Netherlands

open access: yesEndangered Species Research, 2023
Abundance estimates corrected for changes in detection are needed to assess population trends. We used transect-count surveys and N-mixture models to estimate green turtle Chelonia mydas and hawksbill turtle Eretmochelys imbricata detection and total ...

Environmental DNA monitoring of oncogenic viral shedding and genomic profiling of sea turtle fibropapillomatosis reveals unusual viral dynamics

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2021
Farrell, Duffy and colleagues quantify the viral dynamics of the agent causing sea turtle fibropapillomatosis tumors. Environmental shedding and cellular dynamics are examined, demonstrating that temporal shedding dynamics and tumor burden are correlated.

Effects of Simulated Heat Wave on Oxidative Physiology and Immunity in Asian Yellow Pond Turtle (Mauremys mutica)

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Global warming has led to an increase in the frequency, duration, and intensity of heat waves in the summer, which can cause frequent and acute heat stress on ectotherms. Thus, determining how ectothermic animals respond to heat waves has been attracting
