1.1. Background on Ranaviruses and Relevant Research in Reptiles Ranaviruses (family Iridoviridae, genus Ranavirus ) are emerging infectious diseases that have a broad host range, infecting amphibians, fish, and reptiles. They are large, double-stranded viruses that replicate in temperatures of…
- Mother knows best: nest-site choice homogenizes embryo thermal environments among populations in a widespread ectotherm.
Bodensteiner BL, Iverson JB, Lea CA et al. · Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences · 2023-07 · open access
Species with large geographical ranges provide an excellent model for studying how different populations respond to dissimilar local conditions, particularly with respect to variation in climate. Maternal effects, such as nest-site choice greatly affect offspring phenotypes and survival. Thus,…

- A Cautionary Tale of Sexing by Methylation: Hybrid Bisulfite-Conversion Sequencing of Immunoprecipitated Methylated DNA in Chrysemys picta Turtles with Temperature-Dependent Sex Determination Reveals Contrasting Patterns of Somatic and Gonadal Methylation, but No Unobtrusive Sex Diagnostic.
Mizoguchi BA, Valenzuela N · Animals : an open access journal from MDPI · 2022-12 · open access
1. Introduction Epigenetic modifications mark DNA nucleotides chemically without altering their sequence in response to normal environmental signals (e.g., nutrition and temperature fluctuations) or to environmental stressors during development, including sexual development. DNA methylation is the…
- Developing a classification system to assign activity states to two species of freshwater turtles.
Auge AC, Blouin-Demers G, Murray DL · PloS one · 2022-11 · open access
Research in ecology often requires robust assessment of animal behaviour, but classifying behavioural patterns in free-ranging animals and in natural environments can be especially challenging. New miniaturised bio-logging devices such as accelerometers are increasingly available to record animal…

- Cytoskeletal Arrest: An Anoxia Tolerance Mechanism.
Myrka A, Buck L · Metabolites · 2021-08 · open access
Polymerization of actin filaments and microtubules constitutes a ubiquitous demand for cellular adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) and guanosine-5'-triphosphate (GTP). In anoxia-tolerant animals, ATP consumption is minimized during overwintering conditions, but little is known about the role of cell…
- Multi-scale Assessment of Rock Barrens Turtle Nesting Habitat: Effects of Moisture and Temperature on Hatch Success
Chantel E. Markle, Nicole Sandler, Hope C. A. Freeman et al. · Ichthyology & Herpetology · 2021-06 · open access
Understanding thermal and moisture regimes in nesting habitat is an important step in management and restoration of at-risk turtle habitat because anthropogenic stressors that affect these key properties impact hatch success. In rock barrens landscapes, freshwater turtles are known to nest in…

Mota JL, Brown DJ, Canning DM et al. · Ecology and evolution · 2021-03 · open access
Anthropogenic land use changes have broad impacts on biological diversity, often resulting in shifts in community composition. While many studies have documented negative impacts on occurrence and abundance of species, less attention has been given to native species that potentially benefit from…
