Hematological profile and erythrocyte osmotic fragility of free-living yellow-footed tortoise Chelonoidis denticulatus (Linnaeus, 1766)

Veterinary Research Communications
The yellow-footed tortoise (Chelonoidis denticulatus, Linnaeus, 1766) is among the most consumed chelonian species in the Amazon region, raising concerns about its conservation status. Furthermore, few studies have been carried out on the parameters of physiological normality of this species in free-living conditions, making it difficult to assess the ...

Traditional knowledge applied to hunting and breeding of the vulnerable Yellow-footed Tortoise (Chelonoidis denticulatus) in the Cazumbá-Iracema Extractive Reserve, Acre, Brazil

Ethnobiology and Conservation, 2022
Hunting is intensely practiced in the Amazon and is related to the survival of riverside communities as a source of income and food. This study was conducted at Resex Cazumbá-Iracema between June and November, in the dry season and the beginning of the flood period.

Widespread Use of Traditional Techniques by Local People for Hunting the Yellow-Footed Tortoise ( Chelonoidis denticulatus ) Across the Amazon

Journal of Ethnobiology, 2020
Understanding the repertoire of hunting techniques used by traditional peoples in tropical forests is crucial for recognizing the role of traditional knowledge in hunting activities, as well as assessing the impact of harvests on game species. We describe the hunting techniques used across Amazonia by Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples for hunting ...

Criticism over the Intraosseus Route for Testudines: A Test with the Yellow-Footed Tortoise (Chelonoidis denticulata)

Journal of Herpetological Medicine and Surgery, 2015
Abstract Fluid administration via the intraosseous route in Testudines at the carapacial bridge is advocated by some authors as an efficient method for replenishing fluids, whereas others advise against its use. The authors estimated the flow rates and distribution of fluids administered intraosseously to five adult male Chelonoidis denticulata

Adapting a Traditional Hunting Technique to Improve Capture Rates for the Endangered Yellow-Footed Tortoise ( Chelonoidis denticulatus ) during Ecological Surveys in Amazonia

Journal of Ethnobiology, 2020
The lack of cost-effective methods to detect game species in tropical forests hinders reliable assessments of their population status and the planning of effective actions for their sustainable use. Tortoises are among the most hunted species in Amazonia, but present low detectability in the wild when using current scientific methods.

Red- and yellow-footed tortoises, Chelonoidis carbonaria and C. denticulata (Reptilia: Testudines: Testudinidae), in South American savannahs and forests: do their phylogeographies reflect distinct habitats?

Organisms Diversity & Evolution, 2010
Using sequence data of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene, we investigated phylogeographic differentiation of the Amazonian tortoise species Chelonoidis carbonaria and C. denticulata. While C. carbonaria is generally restricted to savannah habitats and adjacent forests, C. denticulata is associated with wet tropical and subtropical forests.

First Record of Yellow‐Footed Tortoise ( Chelonoidis denticulatus ) Feces Attracting Dung Beetles

Biotropica
ABSTRACT While mammalian feces are recognized as a key resource for dung beetles, their use of reptile feces remains understudied. We recorded 1013 individuals from 20 species attracted to Chelonoidis denticulatus (yellow‐footed tortoise) feces in the Brazilian Atlantic ...
