Abstract:
... On the eastern Indonesian island of Flores, the Lio and neighboring ethno-linguistic groups report rare encounters with freshwater turtles and giant land crabs. Though neither species has yet to be scientifically documented for Flores, local descriptions of these animals closely correspond to Cuora amboinensis, a species of box turtle found elsewhere in eastern Indonesia, and the Coconut crab, Bir ...

Abstract:
... Herpesviruses are found in free-living and captive chelonian populations, often in association with morbidity and mortality. To date, all known chelonian herpesviruses fall within the subfamily Alphaherpesvirinae. We detected a novel herpesvirus in 3 species of chelonians: a captive leopard tortoise (Stigmochelys pardalis) in western TX, USA; a steppe tortoise (Testudo [Agrionemys] horsfieldii) fo ...

In this study, samples from 949 chelonians submitted to a di ...

Abstract:
... Testudinid herpesviruses (TeHVs) and ranaviruses are important pathogens of tortoises, but no treatments are available. Lysine may inhibit herpesvirus (HV) replication, although its effectivity has been questioned. Lactoferrin has antiviral activity against a range of viruses by inhibiting adsorption to cells. Media were supplemented with 6.25–10 mg/ml lysine and 0.625–1 mg/ml lactoferrin, individ ...

Comparisons of limb bone allometry in functionally divergent turtle taxa indicate highly specialized lineages show extensive flattening of the humerus. In Sea Turtles this contributes to flipper-shaped forelimb morphology that facilitates lift-based swimming (i.e., underwater flight). In contrast ro ...

Alternatives are clearly needed, and machine‐learning (M‐L) is attractive in this regard as it functions without the need to explicitly define a species concept. Unfortunately, its performance will vary according to whic ...

Abstract:
... Disruptive coloration is a common camouflage strategy that breaks body outlines and ostensibly blends organisms into complex backgrounds. However, contrasting false edges caused by an animal's structure can also break body outlines, although there is no empirical evidence to support this strategy. Here, we examined the Gabor edge disruption ratio (GabRat) of two species, the keeled box turtle (Cuo ...
