- Parasite host-switching from the invasive American red-eared slider, Trachemys scripta elegans, to the native Mediterranean pond turtle, Mauremys leprosa, in natural environments
Leon Nicolaas Meyer, Louis Du Preez, Elodie Bonneau et al. · Aquatic Invasions · 2015-01 · open access
The red-eared slider turtle, Trachemys scripta elegans, is among the most over-exploited animals and is still exported annually from the USA all over the world.Once introduced into its new environment, feral populations may arise and pose threats to local biodiversity and ecosystem functioning.In…

- A novel technique to measure chronic levels of corticosterone in turtles living around a major roadway.
Baxter-Gilbert JH, Riley JL, Mastromonaco GF et al. · Conservation physiology · 2014-08 · open access
Conservation biology integrates multiple disciplines to expand the ability to identify threats to populations and develop mitigation for these threats. Road ecology is a branch of conservation biology that examines interactions between wildlife and roadways. Although the direct threats of road…

- Do roads reduce painted turtle (Chrysemys picta) populations?
Dorland A, Rytwinski T, Fahrig L · PloS one · 2014-05 · open access
Road mortality is thought to be a leading cause of turtle population decline. However, empirical evidence of the direct negative effects of road mortality on turtle population abundance is lacking. The purpose of this study was to provide a strong test of the prediction that roads reduce turtle…
- Mapping species distributions with MAXENT using a geographically biased sample of presence data: a performance assessment of methods for correcting sampling bias.
Fourcade Y, Engler JO, Rödder D et al. · PloS one · 2014-05 · open access
MAXENT is now a common species distribution modeling (SDM) tool used by conservation practitioners for predicting the distribution of a species from a set of records and environmental predictors. However, datasets of species occurrence used to train the model are often biased in the geographical…
- Experimental feeding of Hydrilla verticillata colonized by stigonematales cyanobacteria induces vacuolar myelinopathy in painted turtles (Chrysemys picta).
Mercurio AD, Hernandez SM, Maerz JC et al. · PloS one · 2014-04 · open access
Vacuolar myelinopathy (VM) is a neurologic disease primarily found in birds that occurs when wildlife ingest submerged aquatic vegetation colonized by an uncharacterized toxin-producing cyanobacterium (hereafter "UCB" for "uncharacterized cyanobacterium"). Turtles are among the closest extant…
