A trophic niche overlap in native and alien turtle species can lead to competitive interactions
whereby allochthonous turtles may outcompete autochthonous individuals and eventually …

Habitat degradation and species introductions are two of the leading causes of species
declines on a global scale. Invasive species negatively impact native species through …

Abstract According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), invasive
species are one of the most important causes of biodiversity decline at a global scale. The …

We radiotracked individuals of the exotic aquatic turtle Trachemys scripta elegans and 2
coexisting species of native turtles (Mauremys leprosa and Emys orbicularis) in southern …

Feeding ecology of a species is the result of its evolutionary history, biology, physiology and
local constraints, such as prey availability, intra-and inter-specific interactions and …

Nowadays, established populations of exotic turtles, Trachemys scripta elegans, coexist with
native turtles in the wild in southern Spain. We analysed the diet of this exotic species and …

The red-eared slider, Trachemys scripta elegans, is a worldwide invasive species, currently
introduced in most freshwater habitats as a consequence of the exotic pet trade. In the …

Marine turtles are key indicator species of ecosystem function and environmental health,
however, many of their life-history features remain cryptic. Particularly, the understanding of …

Identifying links between breeding and non-breeding sites in migratory animals is an
important step in understanding their ecology. Recognising the relative importance of …

Aim Using a combination of satellite telemetry and stable isotope analysis (SIA), our aim was
to identify foraging grounds of loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) at important rookeries in …
