Species delimitation is a first step for realizing the extent of biodiversity and is relevant for all
downstream applications in biology. The production of large genome-scale datasets for non …

Recent studies indicate that hybridization in animals occurs more frequently than previously
thought and that it may play an important evolutionary role. Chelonians are capable of …

Patterns of interspecific differences in the diets of nonavian reptiles may be complicated by
intraspecific dietary diversity that is related to variation in body size and trophic morphology …

Hybridization induced by human activities, such as crossbreeding between invasive and
native species, can adversely affect the natural biodiversity of an ecosystem. In Japan, the …

Macrochelys temminckii (Alligator Snapping Turtle) has experienced historical harvesting
pressures that impact a number of current populations. Filling distribution gaps and …

Abstract The Kinmen Islands on the coastline of China represent a recent case of the
protection of endangered wildlife in a demilitarized zone. These islands represent the last …

Understanding the geographical range of a species is essential to successful conservation
and management, but their ranges are not always fully known. Ringed Map Turtles …

The emydid turtle genus Graptemys is characterized by intra-and interspecific dietary
diversity. Sympatric species pairs typically differ in trophic morphology and dependence on …

We collected information to determine the status of Barbour's map turtle (Graptemys
barbouri) in Florida by conducting standardized surveys of occupied watersheds in 2014 …

Physically interacting sperm-egg proteins have been identified using gene-modified animals
in some mammal species. Three proteins are essential for sperm-egg binding: Izumo1 on …
