- The invasive red-eared slider turtle is more successful than the native Chinese three-keeled pond turtle: evidence from the gut microbiota.
Qu YF, Wu YQ, Zhao YT et al. · PeerJ · 2020-10 · open access
Background The mutualistic symbiosis between the gut microbial communities (microbiota) and their host animals has attracted much attention. Many factors potentially affect the gut microbiota, which also varies among host animals. The native Chinese three-keeled pond turtle ( Chinemys reevesii )…

Bardi E, Antolini G, Lubian E et al. · Animals : an open access journal from MDPI · 2020-08 · open access
Ovariectomy via the prefemoral fossa is a well-described technique for sterilization in chelonians. The choice between lateral and dorsal recumbency is generally left to the surgeon's preference, with no data supporting an objective superiority of one over the other. Twenty-four sexually mature…

- Pet or pest? Stable isotope methods for determining the provenance of an invasive alien species
Katherine G. W. Hill, Kristine E. Nielson, Jonathan James Tyler et al. · NeoBiota · 2020-07 · open access
The illegal pet trade facilitates the global dispersal of invasive alien species (IAS), providing opportunities for new pests to establish in novel recipient environments. Despite the increasing threat of IAS to the environment and economy, biosecurity efforts often lack suitable,…

- Molecular Cytogenetic Characterization of the Sicilian Endemic Pond Turtle Emys trinacris and the Yellow-Bellied Slider Trachemys scripta scripta (Testudines, Emydidae).
Scardino R, Mazzoleni S, Rovatsos M et al. · Genes · 2020-06 · open access
Turtles, a speciose group consisting of more than 300 species, demonstrate karyotypes with diploid chromosome numbers ranging from 2n = 26 to 2n = 68. However, cytogenetic analyses have been conducted only to 1/3rd of the turtle species, often limited to conventional staining methods. In order to…
- Serum biochemistry of Trachemys scripta elegans and Trachemys dorbignyi ( Testudines : Emydidae) bred in captivity in the Northeastern semiarid region of Brazil.
Gradela A, Souza VN, Queiroz MM et al. · Veterinary world · 2020-06 · open access
Aim This study aimed to assess fundamental biochemical values of healthy animals and to provide useful data on comparative physiologies of Testudines , being assessed the serum biochemistry profiles, and body and tail biometry of Trachemys scripta elegans and Trachemys dorbignyi bred in interaction…
- High prevalence of diseases in two invasive populations of red-eared sliders (Trachemys scripta elegans) in southwestern Spain

- Non-Avian Reptiles of the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: status of knowledge and commented list
Jane C. F. Oliveira, Rodrigo Castellari Gonzalez, Paulo Gustavo Homem Passos et al. · Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia · 2020-06 · open access
We assessed the current knowledge on non-avian reptile species composition in the state of Rio de Janeiro (RJ), southeastern Brazil. We used published data in indexed journals and verified voucher specimens housed in two herpetological collections of the Museu Nacional (UFRJ), and the Laboratory of…
- Chemical cues of an invasive turtle reduce development time and size at metamorphosis in the common frog.
Vodrážková M, Šetlíková I, Berec M · Scientific reports · 2020-05 · open access
In aquatic systems, chemical cues are one of the major sources of information through which animals can assess local predation risk. Non-native red-eared sliders (Trachemys scripta elegans) have the potential to disrupt aquatic ecosystems in Central Europe because of their superior competitive…
- Current Distribution and Status of Non-Native Freshwater Turtles in the Wild, Republic of Korea
Kyo Soung Koo, Soorim Song, Jae Hyeok Choi et al. · Sustainability · 2020-05 · open access
Globally, an increase in the transportation and expansion of the pet market is the most important cause of the invasion of non-native species. Invasion of non-native species disturbs native ecosystems and leads to socio-economic problems. The pet trade involving turtles has been globally recognized…

Tezak B, Sifuentes-Romero I, Milton S et al. · Scientific reports · 2020-03 · open access
Introduction Environmentally-dependent sex determining systems (ESD) are common in vertebrate animals, but the developmental mechanisms involved remain poorly understood. When temperature is the critical factor for sex determination, the process is termed temperature-dependent sex determination…
