Freshwater biota experience physiological challenges in regions affected by salinization, but
often the effects on particular species are poorly understood. Freshwater turtles are of …

Context The increasing intensity and extent of anthropogenically mediated salinisation in
freshwater systems has the potential to affect freshwater species through physiological and …

The projected rise in global mean sea levels places many freshwater turtle species at risk of
saltwater intrusion into freshwater habitats. Freshwater turtles are disproportionately more …

The diamondback terrapin is the only temperate turtle species that exclusively inhabits
estuarine environments. Morphological, behavioral and physiological features contribute to …

Pseudemys nelsoni and Trachemys decussata inhabit brackish water in mainland areas of
extreme southern Florida and on Grand Cayman Island. They appear to be intermediate in …

The marginal populations of the Sahara blue-eyed pond turtle, Mauremys leprosa saharica,

I examined the use of saline habitats by the common snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina)
in a Long Island estuary, where salinities range from fresh water (0 ppt) to approximately …

Water flux rates and osmotic responses of Kemp's Ridley sea turtles (Lepidochelys kempi)
acutely exposed to fresh water were quantified. Salt-water adapted turtles were exposed to …

The emydid turtle Callagur borneoensis nests on Malaysian ocean beaches with the true
sea turtles. Adults were seen mainly in tidal upstream areas of the Perak and Setiu Rivers. It …

This study aimed to determine effects of 6‐day progressive increase in salinity from 1‰ to
15‰ on nitrogen metabolism and excretion in the soft‐shelled turtle, Pelodiscus sinensis …
