- Seasonal and Sexual Variations in Corticosterone and Total Triiodothyronine: A Pilot Study in Mediterranean Tortoises ( Testudo hermanni ).
Olvera-Maneu S, Navarro X, Serres-Corral P et al. · Animals : an open access journal from MDPI · 2024-09 · open access
The Mediterranean tortoise Testudo hermanni inhabits different regions bordering the northwestern Mediterranean. This species is vulnerable, protected by legislation, and involved in various breeding and reintroduction programs. Wild populations face numerous environmental and anthropogenic…
- 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…

1. Introduction Wild populations of Hermann’s tortoises ( Testudo hermanni [GMELIN, 1789]) occur in littoral pinewoods, coastal dunes, mediterranean scrub, and garrigues in Mediterranean Europe. The western subspecies Testudo hermanni hermanni is found in eastern Spain, southern France, the…
- Epidemiological survey of gastrointestinal helminths and protozoa in Testudines from Sardinia, Italy.
Nonnis F, Tamponi C, Pinna S et al. · Veterinary parasitology, regional studies and reports · 2024-07 · open access
The order Testudines comprises some of the most endangered groups of vertebrates. Under specific circumstances, infectious and parasitic diseases may affect the survival and fecundity of these animals, potentially threatening Testudines populations. In Sardinia, besides the three species of…

Frankenberger J, Ballouard JM, Caron S et al. · PloS one · 2024-04 · open access
Introduction While the Hermann’s Tortoise ( Testudo hermanni ) is likely Europe’s most popular reptile species in captivity, it is listed as “Near threatened” in the IUCN Red list of endangered species. Tortoise protection centres such as “Station d’Observation et de Protection des Tortues et de…

Multidisciplinary approaches for the conservation of endangered species have great importance in preparing management plans. In addition to ecological and population demographic parameters, genetic data provide vital information for conservation management plans for a species. The Hermann's…
- The effects of sex, season, and natural sunlight on plasma vitamin D3 levels in two chelonian species (Testudo hermanni, Trachemys scripta) and their interaction with calcium, phosphate, and magnesium as associated plasma compounds
Gregor Geisler, Christoph Leineweber, Michael Pees et al. · Frontiers in Amphibian and Reptile Science · 2023-10 · open access
Species specific physiology, seasonal changes, sex, and husbandry factors all influence the blood chemistry of chelonians, including vitamin D3, calcium, phosphate and magnesium levels. Problems in the supply of many of these are commonly seen in captive reptiles. The goal of this study was to…
- Crossmodal association between visual and acoustic cues in a tortoise ( Testudo hermanni ).
Loconsole M, Stancher G, Versace E · Biology letters · 2023-07 · open access
Humans spontaneously match information coming from different senses, in what we call crossmodal associations. For instance, high-pitched sounds are preferentially associated with small objects, and low-pitched sounds with larger ones. Although previous studies reported crossmodal associations in…
