- Rarely naturalized, but widespread and even invasive: the paradox of a popular pet terrapin expansion in Eurasia
Andrey N. Reshetnikov, Marina G. Zibrova, Dinçer Ayaz et al. · NeoBiota · 2023-01 · open access
The North American terrapin, the red-eared slider, has globally recognized invasive status. We built a new extensive database using our own original and literature data on the ecology of this reptile, representing information on 1477 water bodies throughout Eurasia over the last 50 years. The…

- Comparison of the Single-Cell Immune Landscape of Testudines from Different Habitats.
Guo R, Ma G, Zhai X et al. · Cells · 2022-12 · open access
Testudines, also known as living fossils, have evolved diversely and comprise many species that occupy a variety of ecological niches. However, the immune adaptation of testudines to the different ecological niches remains poorly understood. This study compared the composition, function, and…
- Effect of atropine and propofol on the minimum anaesthetic concentration of isoflurane in the freshwater turtle Trachemys scripta (yellow-bellied slider).
Kristensen L, Zardo JQ, Hansen SM et al. · Veterinary anaesthesia and analgesia · 2022-11 · open access
Objective To determine if the administration of atropine would reduce the measured minimum anaesthetic concentration of isoflurane (MAC isoflurane ) in freshwater turtles - the yellow-bellied slider (Trachemys scripta scripta). Study design Paired, blinded, randomized, prospective studies of 1) the…
- A New Invasion of the Common Slider on a Mediterranean Island (Lesvos, Greece): A Potential Threat to Native Terrapin Populations?
Apostolos Christopoulos, Yiannis G. Zevgolis · Diversity · 2022-11 · open access
Island wetlands are considered crucial to biodiversity due to their unique ecological, biogeographical, and socioeconomic dynamics. However, these habitat types are particularly vulnerable to invasion; invasive species can cause severe ecological, evolutionary, and epidemiological impacts on native…

- Underwater vocalizations of Trachemys scripta elegans and their differences among sex–age groups
Lu Zhou, Longhui Zhao, Handong Li et al. · Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution · 2022-11 · open access
The aim of this study was to identify underwater vocalizations in red-eared turtles (Trachemys scripta elegans) and assess differences between sexes and ages. We recorded the underwater vocalizations of the red-eared sliders and identified 12 call types through manual visual and aural inspection of…
- Development of subdomains in the medial pallium of Xenopus laevis and Trachemys scripta : Insights into the anamniote-amniote transition.
Jiménez S, Moreno N · Frontiers in neuroanatomy · 2022-11 · open access
In all vertebrates, the most dorsal region of the telencephalon gives rise to the pallium, which in turn, is formed by at least four evolutionarily conserved histogenetic domains. Particularly in mammals, the medial pallium generates the hippocampal formation. Although this region is structurally…
- Current Status of and Threats to Sicilian Turtles
Luca Vecchioni, Marco Arculeo, Melita Vamberger et al. · Diversity · 2022-09 · open access
Based on the critical review of the literature published in the last 22 years, an attempt was made to evaluate the current knowledge gap on the distribution and status of the native Testudines taxa occurring in Sicily (namely Caretta caretta, Emys trinacris, and Testudo hermanni hermanni), as well…
- Coexistence of Native and Invasive Freshwater Turtles: The Llobregat Delta (NE Iberian Peninsula) as a Case Study
Marc Franch, Gustavo A. Llorente, María Rieradevall et al. · Land · 2022-09 · open access
The global degradation of wetlands is increasing their susceptibility to invasions, which is greatly determined by a niche overlap between native and invasive species. We analyze its role in regulating the coexistence of the native Mediterranean stripe-necked terrapin Mauremys leprosa and the…

- Gut Microbial Composition and Liver Metabolite Changes Induced by Ammonia Stress in Juveniles of an Invasive Freshwater Turtle.
Li H, Meng Q, Wang W et al. · Biology · 2022-09 · open access
As the most common pollutant in aquaculture systems, the toxic effects of ammonia have been extensively explored in cultured fish, molluscs, and crustaceans, but have rarely been considered in turtle species. In this study, juveniles of the invasive turtle, Trachemys scripta elegans , were exposed…

- Glutamatergic pathways in the brains of turtles: A comparative perspective among reptiles, birds, and mammals.
Hussan MT, Sakai A, Matsui H · Frontiers in neuroanatomy · 2022-08 · open access
Glutamate acts as the main excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain and plays a vital role in physiological and pathological neuronal functions. In mammals, glutamate can cause detrimental excitotoxic effects under anoxic conditions. In contrast, Trachemys scripta , a freshwater turtle, is one of…

- Different time patterns of the presence of red-eared slider influence the ontogeny dynamics of common frog tadpoles.
Vodrážková M, Šetlíková I, Navrátil J et al. · Scientific reports · 2022-05 · open access
The coexistence of species in a given community depends on the set of species involved and the timing of their interactions. Many native communities are increasingly forced to face both direct and indirect pressures from new alien predators, which, in extreme cases, can lead to the extinction of…
- Re-evaluating invasive species in degraded ecosystems: a case study of red-eared slider turtles as partial ecological analogs
Marc Dupuis‐Désormeaux, Jeffrey E. Lovich, J. Whitfield Gibbons · Discover Sustainability · 2022-04 · open access
Abstract Exotic species are often vilified as “bad” without consideration of the potential they have for contributing to ecological functions in degraded ecosystems. The red-eared slider turtle (RES) has been disparaged as one of the worst invasive species. Based on this review, we suggest that RES…
