- On the Palestinian Reptilian Fauna Caged and/or Kept Stuffed at Zoos of the Gaza Strip
Abdel Fattah N. Abd Rabou · Open Journal of Ecology · 2024-01 · open access
The strategic geographical location of Palestine, along with its topography, diversity of ecosystems and climatic changes, create a suitable environment for the presence of reptiles. Zoos in the Gaza Strip have a variety of zoo animals including terrestrial, freshwater and marine reptiles. The…

Very large specimens of T. graeca ibera were found in Bulgaria, but mostly in the 20th century. Presently, such tortoises are almost absent in the country. Here we summarise data about the largest spur-thighed tortoises registered in Bulgaria and provide information about five new large-sized…
- A Retrospective Study on Wild Animals Admitted to Animal Rescue and Rehabilitation Centres in Türkiye*
Emrah BOZKAYA, Tamay BAŞAĞAÇ GÜL · Bilge International Journal of Science and Technology Research · 2023-09 · open access

- Threatened Wildlife for an Instructional Approach about Biodiversity Conservation
Antonio Jesús Mendoza-Fernández, Leticia Arnao, Candelaria Carretero et al. · Research Journal of Ecology and Environmental Sciences · 2023-09 · open access
Biodiversity is related to a global problem: its destruction, a fact supported by scientific authorities. It is not trivial that educational dimension has been contemplated as one of the strategies for its conservation. Since 1992 global initiatives such as the Convention on Biological Diversity…

- Predation impact on threatened spur-thighed tortoises by golden eagles when main prey is scarce.
Gil-Sánchez JM, Rodríguez-Caro RC, Moleón M et al. · Scientific reports · 2022-10 · open access
A reduction in adult survival in long-living species may compromise population growth rates. The spur-thighed tortoise (Testudo graeca) is a long-lived reptile that is threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation. Golden eagles (Aquila chrysaetos), whose breeding habitats overlap that of tortoises,…
- Eggs features and tactical variability in the reproduction of different egg-laying species of reptiles (Testudines, Ophidia) in Azerbaijan
Tavakkul M. Iskenderov · Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) · 2022-09 · open access
The article discusses the features of eggs, the confinement of oviposition to certain stages of embryonic development, and its adaptive significance in some oviparous reptile species in Azerbaijan. Information is reported on the size and numbers of eggs in clutches, stages of development of embryos…

- Mediterranean Spur-Thighed Tortoises ( Testudo graeca ) Have Optimal Speeds at Which They Can Minimise the Metabolic Cost of Transport, on a Treadmill.
Ewart H, Tickle P, Nudds R et al. · Biology · 2022-07 · open access
Tortoises are famed for their slow locomotion, which is in part related to their herbivorous diet and the constraints imposed by their protective shells. For most animals, the metabolic cost of transport (CoT) is close to the value predicted for their body mass. Testudines appear to be an exception…
