- Plasma chemistry and hematology of Eastern Mediterranean Sea green turtles undergoing rehabilitation
Starostinetsky Malonek T, Scheinin A, Wosnick N et al. · Biodiversity and conservation · 2025-01 · open access
The Eastern Mediterranean Sea (EMS) is oligotrophic, presenting low biological production and high temperature and salinity, while comprising a biodiversity hotspot, with a unique emblematic threatened species array, including sea turtles. The establishment of healthy captive green turtle (Chelonia…

- Freshwater turtle (Reptilia: Testudines) assemblage from an urban protected Atlantic Forest remnant: population density, movement and habitat preference
Sabine Borges da Rocha, Carlos Rouco, Carlos Eduardo Vargas Grou et al. · Zoologia (Curitiba) · 2025-01 · open access
ABSTRACT Urbanization may significantly impact wild population dynamics, even in protected green spaces. From 2016 to 2018, we accessed an assemblage of freshwater turtles isolated in an urban remnant of the Atlantic Forest, southern Brazil. We captured turtles by active search, hookless fishing,…

Martínez-Ríos M, Martín-Torrijos L, Diéguez-Uribeondo J · Journal of fungi (Basel, Switzerland) · 2025-01 · open access
The fungal pathogens Fusarium keratoplasticum and Fusarium falciforme are responsible for the emerging infectious disease named sea turtle egg fusariosis (STEF). This disease affects all sea turtle species throughout the world, causing low hatching success and mass mortalities. In this study, we…
- xRead: a coverage-guided approach for scalable construction of read overlapping graph.
Kong T, Wang Y, Liu B · GigaScience · 2025-01 · open access
Background The development of long-read sequencing is promising for the high-quality and comprehensive de novo assembly for various species around the world. However, it is still challenging for assemblers to handle thousands of genomes, tens of gigabase-level assembly sizes, and terabase-level…
- An early detection rapid response case study of the Black and White Tegu (Salvator merianae) and implications for a broader framework
Mark Sandfoss, Amanda M. Kissel, Lisa M. McBride et al. · Management of Biological Invasions · 2025-01 · open access
Documentation of successful early detection rapid response (EDRR) efforts is lacking from the scientific literature but is needed to inform invasive species response protocols.The Black and White Tegu (Salvator merianae) has become established in several Florida counties and its spread is of…
- Chemical communication in frogs (Anura) and their larvae
Konrad Lipkowski · 2025-01 · open access
Chemical communication is one of the most widespread forms of information transfer in the animal kingdom, however, its role in frogs (Anura) remains poorly understood. While chemically mediated predator–prey interactions in larval stages have received considerable attention, other life stages and…
