- Early-life intestinal microbiome in Trachemys scripta elegans analyzed using 16S rRNA sequencing.
Peng Q, Chen Y, Ding L et al. · PeerJ · 2020-02 · open access
During the early-life period, the hatchlings of red-eared slider turtles ( Trachemys scripta elegans ) rely on their own post-hatching internal yolk for several days before beginning to feed. The gut microbiome is critical for the adaptation of organisms to new environments, but, to date, how the…
- Reproductive biology, morphology, and morphometry of ovaries and oviducts of Trachemys scripta elegans in Brazilian Cerrado

- E-commerce promotes trade in invasive turtles in China
Sha Liu, Chris Newman, Christina Dagmar Buesching et al. · Oryx · 2020-01 · open access
Abstract Freshwater habitats in China are potentially suitable for invasive alien turtle species and, consequently, raising turtles in aquaculture facilities and the trade in turtles this supplies pose risks to habitats and native wetland communities when exotic turtles escape or are released…

- So different, yet so alike: North American slider turtles (Trachemys scripta)
Melita Vamberger, Flora Ihlow, Marika Asztalos et al. · Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) · 2019-12 · open access
We studied for the first time the molecular differentiation of all three currently recognized subspecies of Trachemys scripta, including the morphologically distinct western populations of T. s. elegans (‘western red-eared sliders’), using mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences (up to 3,236 bp and…
- Auditory brainstem responses in the red-eared slider Trachemys scripta elegans (Testudoformes: Emydidae) reveal sexually dimorphic hearing sensitivity.
Wang T, Li H, Cui J et al. · Journal of comparative physiology. A, Neuroethology, sensory, neural, and behavioral physiology · 2019-10 · open access
Hearing sensitivity is of general interest from the perspective of understanding the functionality and evolution of vertebrate auditory systems. Sexual dimorphism of auditory systems has been reported in several species of vertebrates, but little is known about this phenomenon in turtles. Some…
- Fundamental niche unfilling and potential invasion risk of the slider turtle Trachemys scripta .
Espindola S, Parra JL, Vázquez-Domínguez E · PeerJ · 2019-10 · open access
Background How species colonize new environments is still a fundamental question in ecology and evolution, assessable by evaluating range characteristics of invasive species. Here we propose a model approach to evaluate environmental conditions and species features to predict niche changes in…
- Smooth Muscle in Cardiac Chambers is Common in Turtles and Extensive in the Emydid Turtle, Trachemys scripta.
Joyce W, Crossley DA 2nd, Wang T et al. · Anatomical record (Hoboken, N.J. : 2007) · 2019-10 · open access
A prominent layer of smooth muscle lining the luminal side of the atria of freshwater turtles (Emydidae) was described more than a century ago. We recently demonstrated that this smooth muscle provides a previously unrecognized mechanism to change cardiac output in the emydid red-eared slider…

Introduction The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has labeled the red-eared slider turtle ( Trachemys scripta elegans; RES) one of the “world’s worst invasive species”. RES are native to the central United States—from West Virginia through Texas to eastern New Mexico and north…
