On the reclassification of box turtles (Terrapene): A response to Martin et al. (2014).
Species delimitation is a central issue in all fields of biology, and it is closely tied to the species concept employed. Thousands of pages have been filled with debates about competing species concepts; for instance, Coyne & Orr (2004) counted no less than 25 distinct species concepts. Among these are several phylogenetic species concepts. The paper by Martin et al. (2013) on box turtles is o...
متن کاملAn enhanced developmental staging table for the painted turtle, Chrysemys picta (Testudines: Emydidae).
Normal developmental staging tables often undergo expansion and enhancement in response to advancing research paradigms and technologies. The Painted Turtle, Chrysemys picta, has long been a preferred reference taxon for comparative embryology and recently became the first turtle species to feature a sequenced genome. However, modern descriptive studies on embryogenesis are lacking and an earli...
متن کاملGene flow across secondary contact zones of the Emys orbicularis complex in the Western Mediterranean and evidence for extinction and reintroduction of pond turtles on Corsica and Sardinia (Testudines: Emydidae)
European pond turtles represent a phylogeographically deeply structured complex of distinct taxa. Here, we use mitochondrial DNA sequences (cytochrome b gene) and eight polymorphic microsatellite loci to investigate genetic differentiation and gene flow of Sicilian, Corsican and Sardinian pond turtles and of subspecies involved in two secondary contact zones in the Pyrenean region and Southern ...
متن کاملCamallanus emydidius n. sp. (Nematoda: Camallanidae) in Trachemys dorbigni (Duméril & Bibron, 1835) (Testudines: Emydidae) from Southern Brazil
This paper describes a new species of Camallanus found in the freshwater turtle Trachemys dorbigni. Sixty hosts collected in Southern Brazil were examined. All hosts (100%) were parasitized by a new species of Camallanus, which was described as Camallanus emydidius n. sp. The new species differs from other Camallanus species of freshwater turtles mainly because of the morphology of the right sp...
متن کاملCoccidia (Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae) of Three-toed Box Turtles, Terrapene carolina triunguis (Reptilia: Testudines), from Arkansas and Oklahoma.
We collected 50 three-toed box turtles (Terrapene carolina triunguis) from 9 counties of Arkansas and 4 counties of Oklahoma, and examined their feces for coccidial parasites. Nine of 24 (38%) turtles from Arkansas and 8 of 26 (31%) from Oklahoma were found to be passing oocysts of Eimeria ornata. This represents two new geographic distributional records for this coccidian. Measurements of indi...
