Survival of the western pond turtle (Emys marmorata) in an urbanCalifornia environment
The western pond turtle Emys (formerly Clemmys) marmorata is declining throughout its range, primarily due to loss of habitat via urbanization and conversion to agriculture. Urban waterways present several important challenges to freshwater turtle populations, but they also present an opportunity to maintain declining species in a ubiquitous habitat that has high public visibility. The arboretu...
متن کاملDistribution and Abundance of Invasive Red-Eared Sliders (Trachemys scripta elegans) in California's Sacramento River Basin and Possible Impacts on Native Western Pond Turtles (Emys marmorata)

متن کاملFeeding Behaviour and Feeding Motorics in Subadult European Pond Turtles, Emys orbicularis (Linnaeus, 1758)
The European Pond Turtle is a predominantly aquatic species, generally assumed to feed exclusively under water by using hydrodynamic mechanisms. We analysed the kinematics of the aquatic food uptake and food transport by using high-speed videos with 500 fps. The analyses revealed that subadult E. orbicularis use compensatory suction for food uptake, but the food transport is performed by a comb...
متن کاملVariation of Sicilian pond turtles, Emys trinacris – What makes a species cryptic?
Variation of the Sicilian pond turtle, Emys trinacris, is described, based on morphological data of more than 200 adult and immature turtles and mtDNA sequences of 31 new known-locality specimens. Emys trinacris is morphologically more variable than thought before. There exist pronounced population-specific differences. Adults are barely distinguishable from Emys orbicularis galloitalica. Hatch...
متن کاملRange-wide molecular analysis of the western pond turtle (Emys marmorata): cryptic variation, isolation by distance, and their conservation implications.
We analysed phylogeography and population genetic variation across the range of the western pond turtle (Emys marmorata) using rapidly evolving mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequence data. Nuclear DNA sequences from two unlinked introns displayed extremely low levels of variation, but phylogenetic analyses based on mtDNA recovered four well-supported and geographically coherent clades. These in...
