- STED microscopy reveals dendrite-specificity of spines in turtle cortex.
Knobloch JA, Laurent G, Lauterbach MA · Progress in neurobiology · 2023-10 · open access
Dendritic spines are key structures for neural communication, learning and memory. Spine size and shape probably reflect synaptic strength and learning. Imaging with superresolution STED microscopy the detailed shape of the majority of the spines of individual neurons in turtle cortex (Trachemys…
- 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…
- Experiencing short heat waves early in development changes thermal responsiveness of turtle embryos to later heat waves.
Breitenbach AT, Marroquín-Flores RA, Paitz RT et al. · The Journal of experimental biology · 2023-09 · open access
INTRODUCTION As climate patterns change at an unprecedented pace, research on how temperature affects biological processes is more important now than it has ever been. Studies that expose groups of individuals to different constant temperatures to see how these different temperatures affect…

- Domestic Reutilization Status of Invasive Turtle Species in South Korea Based on Trachemys scripta
Hae-Jun Baek, Soyeon Cho, Minjeong Seok et al. · Diversity · 2023-07 · open access
The pond slider (Trachemys scripta) was designated as an invasive alien species in South Korea in 2001. Although the prevention and control of invasive species have received considerable atten-tion worldwide, studies on the current status and effective management of T. scripta in South Korea are…

- Risk Assessment Model System for Aquatic Animal Introduction Based on Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP).
Zhang X, Du H, Zhao Z et al. · Animals : an open access journal from MDPI · 2023-06 · open access
The spread of invasive species (IS) has the potential to upset ecosystem balances. In extreme cases, this can hinder economical utilization of both aquatic (fisheries) and terrestrial (agricultural) systems. As a result, many countries regard risk assessment of IS as an important process for…

- Alien Freshwater Turtles in Greece: Citizen Science Reveals the Hydra-Headed Issue of the Pet Turtle Trade
Konstantinos Kalaentzis, Christos Kazilas, Ilias Strachinis et al. · Diversity · 2023-05 · open access
Citizen science is emerging as a powerful tool for the early detection of biological invasions. The exotic pet trade has been deemed as the most significant cause of establishment for reptiles, and among them, turtles have the highest number of introduction events. In Europe, at least 13 species of…

Maričić M, Danon G, Faria JF et al. · Microorganisms · 2023-04 · open access
Haemogregarines (Apicomplexa: Adeleorina) are the most common and widespread reptilian blood parasites. Haemogregarina stepanowi was the first haemogregarine described from a reptile, the European pond turtle Emys orbicularis , and initial assessments indicated it was widespread across different…

Background The progressive deregulation of the immune system with age, termed immunosenescence, has been well studied in mammalian systems, but studies of immune function in long-lived, wild, non-mammalian populations are scarce. In this study we leverage a 38-year mark-recapture study to quantify…
