- Retrospective Analysis of Hatchling Success From Chelonian Eggs at a North Carolina Wildlife Clinic 2010 to 2023.
Diehl CC, Hiser SA, Moon DD et al. · Zoo biology · 2026-04 · open access
The success rate of deposited and harvested chelonian hatchlings between 2010 and 2023 were retrospectively reviewed by the North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine Turtle Rescue Team. These data were analyzed to determine factors that may influence hatchling success including…

- Turtles as models for the maternal transfer of organic pollutants across reptile species, chemicals, and matrices.
Vermeiren P, De Marchi L, Charles S et al. · Ecotoxicology and environmental safety · 2025-11 · open access
Maternal offloading of chemicals presents a first exposure for embryos during a critical window of sensitive early life development. We aimed to develop reptile-specific models to quantify this offloading. We fitted statistical models to data from two turtles (Malaclemys terrapin, Chelydra…

- Role of Trachemys scripta elegans in polystome (Platyhelminthes, Monogenea, Polystomatidae) spillover and spillback following the trade of freshwater turtles in southern Europe and North America.
Verneau O, Quinn D, Smith KG et al. · Parasite (Paris, France) · 2025-05 · open access
The red-eared slider, Trachemys scripta elegans (Wied, 1938), has been introduced worldwide, partly because of the exotic pet trade in the 1980s and 1990s. When T. s. elegans is released or escapes into natural environments, it often establishes new feral populations due to its tolerance for a…

- Developmental timing of flash drought influences offspring survival in the field.
Shortridge AL, Clark MA, Gutierrez P et al. · Oecologia · 2025-04 · open access
Extreme climate events, including rapid-onset flash droughts, are increasing with anthropogenic climate change. Flash droughts impact growth and survival of plants, microbes, and invertebrates, yet less is known about their ecological consequences in vertebrates. Although constant water deprivation…

- Quantifying the relationship between observed variables with censored values using Bayesian error-in-variables regression.
Vermeiren P, Charles S, Muñoz CC · Chemosphere · 2025-03 · open access
We aimed to address two common challenges for scientists working with observational data: "how to quantify the relationship between two observed (or measured) variables", and, "how to account for censored values" (i.e., observations or measures whose value is only known to fall within a range).…
- Ovivorous Opportunities: Predation Events During Nest Guarding in a Freshwater Fish Species.
Studden BM, Fernandes T, McMeans B · Ecology and evolution · 2025-03 · open access
The construction and defense of nests leading up to and following spawning is widespread across freshwater fishes. Despite the known role of nesting in sexual selection and the establishment of social hierarchy, how nesting and nest guarding behavior may shape predation risk for both offspring and…
- Environmental factors influencing bioaccumulation of xenobiotic metals in freshwater turtles
Darien N. Becker, Donald J. Brown, Jason A. Hubbart et al. · Environmental Pollutants and Bioavailability · 2025-03 · open access
Human-induced land use practices can result in the bioaccumulation of metals in turtles. We assessed relationships between land use and pollutant concentrations in painted turtles (Chrysemys picta) and snapping turtles (Chelydra serpentina) through non-destructive tissue sampling across 22 sites…

- Developmental programming of sarcoplasmic reticulum function improves cardiac anoxia tolerance in turtles.
Ruhr IM, Shiels HA, Crossley DA 2nd et al. · The Journal of experimental biology · 2024-10 · open access
Oxygen deprivation during embryonic development can permanently remodel the vertebrate heart, often causing cardiovascular abnormalities in adulthood. While this phenomenon is mostly damaging, recent evidence suggests developmental hypoxia produces stress-tolerant phenotypes in some ectothermic…

- Sound localization circuits in reptiles
Dawei Han, Rebeca W. Fuquen, Katie L. Willis et al. · Frontiers in Amphibian and Reptile Science · 2024-09 · open access
Location of sound sources is a fundamental task of the auditory system. Recent studies have shown that land vertebrates employ an array of sound localization strategies. We have therefore compared auditory brainstem circuits by measuring cell numbers in the cochlear nuclei in relation to brain…

- Shell shape does not accurately predict self-righting ability in hatchling freshwater turtles.
van Casteren A, Sellers WI, Crossley DA 2nd et al. · Scientific reports · 2024-02 · open access
Flat hydrodynamic shells likely represent an evolutionary trade-off between adaptation to an aquatic lifestyle and the instability of more rounded shells, thought beneficial for self-righting. Trade-offs often result in compromises, this is particularly true when freshwater turtles, with flatter…
- Influence of Wetland and Landscape Characteristics on Freshwater Turtle Relative Abundance and Movement Patterns in West Virginia, USA
Darien N. Becker, Donald J. Brown, James Thomas Anderson · Wetlands · 2024-01 · open access
Abstract Wetland management practices often alter habitat characteristics to improve the function of the wetland (e.g., removing emergent vegetation for aesthetics or dredging for fish stocking), potentially at the cost of reducing habitat quality for wetland-dependent species such as freshwater…

Four native chelonians species occur in Spain, three of which are severely threatened.In recent surveys, 25 species of alien turtles and tortoises were reported, some of which had established breeding populations and interfered with native species.In this study, we used ecological niche models to…
