A new species of Serpinema Yeh (1960) (Nematoda: Camallanidae) is described from a captive false map turtle, Graptemys pseudogeographica pseudogeographica (Gray, 1831), admitted to a veterinary clinic in Lisbon, Portugal. Serpinema pseudogeographicum n. sp. is characterised by seven pairs of…
- Striking diversity and distribution of non-native chelonians in Germany
Hedi Schloddarick, Frederic Griesbaum, Melita Vamberger et al. · NeoBiota · 2026-06 · open access
The introduction of non-native species has created significant global biodiversity challenges, both directly and indirectly, affecting native ecosystems and biodiversity. Since the 1930s, with a peak in the 1980s and early 1990s, human activities have facilitated the global spread of the North…
- Distribution and invasion risk of non-native amphibians and aquatic reptiles in the Pannonian Biogeographical Region of Central Europe
Bettina Szajbert, András Weiperth, Zsombor M. Bányai et al. · NeoBiota · 2026-05 · open access
Global declines in amphibians and reptiles have been well documented for decades, with invasive species being one of the major threats. In the Pannonian Biogeographical Region (PBR) of Central Europe, which includes the whole territory of Hungary and peripheral areas of Austria, Croatia, Czech…
- Six new non-native turtles in Portugal: A growing threat apart from the Red-Eared slider and Chinese stripe-necked turtle
João Rato, Maria Silva, Tatiana Catarrinho et al. · Herpetozoa · 2026-01 · open access
We report the first records of non-native freshwater turtles in Portugal, highlighting the growing diversity of species introduced in addition to the known Trachemys scripta and Mauremys sinensis . In 2024 and 2025, we surveyed 39 sites across Portugal and confirmed the presence of seven non-native…
- Potentially Zoonotic Bacteria in Exotic Freshwater Turtles from the Canary Islands (Spain).
Pino-Vera R, Abreu-Acosta N, Afonso O et al. · Biology · 2025-12 · open access
The pond slider ( Trachemys scripta ) is native to the southeastern United States but has been introduced all around the world, including to the Canary Islands (Spain), along with other less-common exotic freshwater turtles such as Graptemys pseudogeographica , Mauremys spp., and Pseudemys…
- Brumation Phase Report: Fall–Winter 2025 Behavioral Patterns in Captive Yellow-Bellied Sliders and Mississippi Map Turtles
Wolfe, Joseph · Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) · 2025-11 · open access
This seasonal research update summarizes late-fall and early-winter observations from an ongoing ethological study of Yellow-Bellied Sliders (Trachemys scripta scripta) and Mississippi Map Turtles (Graptemys pseudogeographica kohnii) housed in a 204-gallon semi-controlled aquatic enclosure in…
- Turtles for Sale: Species Prevalence in the Pet Trade in Poland and Potential Introduction Risks.
Badziukiewicz J, Bors M, Maciaszek R et al. · Animals : an open access journal from MDPI · 2025-09 · open access
The popularity of exotic animals, including turtles, kept as pets, has grown steadily in recent decades. Limited awareness of the biological and ecological requirements of these species, combined with insufficient regulation in the pet trade, has contributed to frequent cases of release into the…
