Discriminating between nesting and non-nesting habitat in a vulnerable bird species: Implications for behavioural ecology [PDF]

, 2019
Nowadays, partitioning amongst nesting and non-nesting habitats is not much studied. Here, I investigate whether or not the turtle dove (Streptopelia turtur) nesting habitats overlap with those used for other purposes in a North African agroforestry ...

The Origin And Loss Of Periodic Patterning In The Turtle Shell [PDF]

, 2014
The origin of the turtle shell over 200 million years ago greatly modified the amniote body plan, and the morphological plasticity of the shell has promoted the adaptive radiation of turtles. The shell, comprising a dorsal carapace and a ventral plastron,
