- Gut microbiota variation in captive tortoises is associated with host species, trophic category, and growth rate.
Vanous K, Rojas CA, Pomeroy C et al. · Frontiers in microbiology · 2026-09 · open access
Despite the ecological and conservation importance of tortoises, their gut bacterial microbiotas remain poorly characterized, particularly across species in captivity. Associations between gut microbiota composition and tortoise age, sex, and growth rate are also poorly understood. Here, we use…

da Costa EN, Gomes CB, Madeira RG et al. · Veterinary medicine international · 2026-01 · open access
Tortoises, such as Chelonoidis denticulatu s, are described as hosts of many parasites, such as helminths and ticks of the genus Amblyomma , which are important vectors of rickettsial infection in Brazil. Additionally, the high consumption of meat from these animals in Acre results in a high risk…

- Trends in Urban Wild Meat Trade of Chelonians (Turtles and Tortoises) in the Peruvian Amazon.
Mayor P, Bodmer R, Moya K et al. · Animals : an open access journal from MDPI · 2024-11 · open access
Culturally, chelonians are important sources of nutrition and income for rural and urban people in tropical rainforests, but urban trade can cause declines in wild populations. This study analyses the urban chelonian trade and its trends to better understand the impact on free-living populations in…

The present study reports on patterns of parasitism by Amblyomma humerale on yellow-footed tortoise, Chelonoidis denticulatus, in the Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil. The tortoises were sampled occasionally, from July 2005 to January 2020. We collected 81 adult ticks from seven tortoises…

- Influence of body size, topography, food availability and tree-fall gaps on space use by yellow-footed tortoises (Chelonoidis denticulatus) in Central Amazonia.
Tavares AS, Morcatty TQ, Zuanon J et al. · PloS one · 2019-02 · open access
Introduction Space use by animals is affected by physiology and behavior, and these often vary among individuals of different sexes and body sizes. The distribution of food resources and the availability of breeding sites often constrain the individual’s movement patterns. However, for ectothermic…
