- The Early Pleistocene ectothermic vertebrates of Pietrafitta (Italy) and the last Western European occurrence of Latonia Meyer, 1843
Leonardo Sorbelli, Andrea Villa, Sergio Gentili et al. · Comptes Rendus Palevol · 2021-06 · open access
The Early Pleistocene site of Pietrafitta (central Italy) produced a rich vertebrate assemblage from the Late Villafranchian Land Mammal Age (late MN18). Geological and paleobotanical data from Pietrafitta indicate a lacustrine environment, surrounded by a humid deciduous broadleaved forest with a…
- Salmonella Infection in Turtles: A Risk for Staff Involved in Wildlife Management?
Casalino G, Bellati A, Pugliese N et al. · Animals : an open access journal from MDPI · 2021-05 · open access
Monitoring of infections that may be transmitted to humans by animals in wildlife rescue centres is very important in order to protect the staff engaged in rehabilitation practices. Salmonella may be a natural inhabitant of the intestinal tract of turtles, rarely causing disease. This may represent…
- Oviductal prolapse associated with a leiomyoma in a Hermann’s tortoise (Testudo hermanni)
Jules Simard · Vlaams Diergeneeskundig Tijdschrift · 2021-04 · open access
A twelve-year-old, female Hermann’s tortoise (Testudo hermanni) was presented with an oviductal prolapse after showing tenesmus for three days prior to presentation. Radiography revealed a soft tissue opacity in the caudal coelomic cavity that ultrasonographically presented as a congested,…

1. Introduction Hermann’s tortoise is a medium-sized terrestrial species that occurs naturally in the European Mediterranean. Two subspecies are currently distinguished: Testudo hermanni hermanni in Western Europe and Testudo hermanni boettgeri ( T. h. boettgeri ) in Eastern Europe. Eggs are white,…
- Morphological Divergence of Hermann's Tortoise ( Testudo hermanni boettgeri Mojsisovits, 1889) in Albania.
Duro S, Sönmez B, Gündemir O et al. · Animals : an open access journal from MDPI · 2021-01 · open access
Testudines show phenotypic plasticity, and variation among specific populations within a species is widespread. Morphological differences between populations may reflect ecological factors that drive adaptation to local conditions. In this context, we gathered basic data on the morphology of the…
- GIS Modelling of the Distribution of Terrestrial Tortoise Species: Testudo graeca and Testudo hermanni (Testudines, Testudinidae) of Eastern Europe in the Context of Climate Change

- Trace Element Levels in the Serum of Hermann´s Tortoises (Testudo hermanni)
Hanna Katrin Stephan, Tina Hollandt, Sabine Öfner et al. · Animal and Veterinary Sciences · 2021-01 · open access
Up to now, blood reference values for trace elements (zinc, copper, iodine, iron, selenium and manganese) in the serum of Testudo spp. have not been established. Most studies concerning trace element levels in blood of reptile’s regard environmental pollution esp. concerning selenium. In the…

Pere Miquel Parés-Casanova, José María Soler Minoves, J. Soler et al. · Arxius de Miscel·lània Zoològica · 2020-04 · open access
Fluctuating asymmetry (FA) refers to subtle differences between left and right sides in bilaterally symmetrical organisms or their parts. Both genetic and environmental changes can increase FA, reflecting deterioration in developmental homeostasis of adult morphology due to a loss of developmental…
