Sea-level rise, drought and water diversion can all lead to rapid salinization of freshwater
habitats, especially in coastal areas. Increased water salinities can in turn alter the …

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

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 …

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

In tidal creeks of the eastern shore of Virginia, the snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina) is
the primary freshwater turtle that intrudes into saline waters. Hatchlings derived from eggs of …

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

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 …

A review of laboratory and field data, together with recent growth experiments, show that
Chelydra serpentina, the common snapping turtle, is unable to hypoosmoregulate in …

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 …

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 …
