However, the composition of benthic systems has changed because many freshwater ecosystems have been invaded by non-native species, including bivalve species such as the asian clam, corbicula fluminea. i studied the diet of Sternotherus carinatus, the Razor- backed Musk Turtle, in southeastern oklahoma across three zones of corbicula abundances: no corbicula, moderate corbicula densities, and high corbicula densities. i hypothesized that the composition of corbicula in the diet would increase with increased abundance of corbicula in the riverine environment. Turtles were caught by snorkel surveys in the little and Mountain fork rivers and kept overnight for the collection of fecal samples. The diet was similar to that found in previous studies on S. carinatus except that corbicula is a new component of the diet and composed the majority of the diet in high-density corbicula areas. an index of Relative importance (iRi) showed that corbicula was the most important prey item in the areas with high corbicula density, was equally as important as gastropods in the areas with moderate corbicula density, and was absent from the diet in areas without corbicula.

  • The Staurotypus Turtles and Aves Share the Same Origin of Sex Chromosomes but Evolved Different Types of Heterogametic Sex Determination
    The Staurotypus Turtles and Aves Share the Same Origin of Sex Chromosomes but Evolved Different Types of Heterogametic Sex Determination Taiki Kawagoshi1, Yoshinobu Uno1, Chizuko Nishida2, Yoichi Matsuda1,3* 1 Laboratory of Animal Genetics, Department of Applied Molecular Biosciences, Graduate School of Bioagricultural Sciences, Nagoya University, Nagoya, Japan, 2 Department of Natural History Sciences, Faculty of Science, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan, 3 Avian Bioscience Research Center, Graduate School of Bioagricultural Sciences, Nagoya University, Nagoya, Japan Abstract Reptiles have a wide diversity of sex-determining mechanisms and types of sex chromosomes. Turtles exhibit temperature- dependent sex determination and genotypic sex determination, with male heterogametic (XX/XY) and female heterogametic (ZZ/ZW) sex chromosomes. Identification of sex chromosomes in many turtle species and their comparative genomic analysis are of great significance to understand the evolutionary processes of sex determination and sex chromosome differentiation in Testudines. The Mexican giant musk turtle (Staurotypus triporcatus, Kinosternidae, Testudines) and the giant musk turtle (Staurotypus salvinii) have heteromorphic XY sex chromosomes with a low degree of morphological differentiation; however, their origin and linkage group are still unknown. Cross-species chromosome painting with chromosome-specific DNA from Chinese soft-shelled turtle (Pelodiscus sinensis) revealed that the X and Y chromosomes of S. triporcatus have homology with P. sinensis chromosome 6, which corresponds to the chicken Z chromosome. We cloned cDNA fragments of S. triporcatus homologs of 16 chicken Z-linked genes and mapped them to S. triporcatus and S. salvinii chromosomes using fluorescence in situ hybridization. Sixteen genes were localized to the X and Y long arms in the same order in both species.

Hoggarth 2012 iii SOCIAL REORGANIZATION AND HOUSEHOLD ADAPTATION IN THE AFTERMATH OF COLLAPSE AT BAKING POT, BELIZE Julie A. Hoggarth, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2012 This dissertation focuses on the adaptations of ancient Maya households to the processes of social reorganization in the aftermath of collapse of Classic Maya rulership at Baking Pot, a small kingdom in the upper Belize River Valley of western Belize. With the depopulation of the central and southern Maya lowlands at the end of the Late Classic period, residents in Settlement Cluster C at Baking Pot persisted following the abandonment of the palace complex in the Terminal Classic period (A.D. 800-900). Results from this study indicate that noble and commoner households in Settlement Cluster C continued to live at Baking Pot, developing strategies of adaptation including expanding interregional mercantile exchange and hosting community feasts in the Terminal Classic and Early Postclassic periods.

  • Species Assessment for Eastern Musk Turtle
    Species Status Assessment Class: Reptilia Family: Kinosternidae Scientific Name: Sternotherus odoratus Common Name: Eastern musk turtle (stinkpot) Species synopsis: Also known as the stinkpot, the eastern musk turtle emits a distinctive musky odor when threatened. It is highly aquatic, leaving the water infrequently, and moving awkwardly on land when it must. Occupied habitats include lakes, ponds, and rivers that have a muddy bottom substrate and little or no current. The musk turtle has a large distribution that extends across most of the eastern United States and into southern Canada, with a noticeable gap around higher elevation areas. New York is near the northern edge of the range. Musk turtles are common and apparently secure across the range with the exception of populations on the northern edge in Ontario and Quebec. Threats include shoreline development and the removal of submerged aquatic vegetation for recreational activities. I. Status a. Current and Legal Protected Status i. Federal ____Not Listed_______________________ Candidate? ___No_____ ii. New York ____SGCN_________________________________________________________ b. Natural Heritage Program Rank i. Global ____G5____________________________________________________________ ii. New York ____S5_____________________ Tracked by NYNHP? ___No____ Other Rank: IUCN – Least Concern COSEWIC – Special Concern Species of Low Priority (NEPARC 2010) 1 Status Discussion: Van Dijk (2011) refers to common musk turtle as a “very widespread, common, and adaptable species” that is “in no way threatened” despite some marginal populations of local conservation interest, including occurrences in Ontario and Quebec. Musk turtles are listed as Threatened in Canada where declines have been attributed to wetland destruction and shoreline alteration. It is also protected in Canada under the federal Species at Risk Act and is listed as a Specially Protected Reptile under the Ontario Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act.

  • Middle Preclassic Landscapes and Aquatic Resource Use at Cuello, Belize
    Bull. Fla. Mus. Nat. Hist. (2003)44(1): 35-42 35 MIDDLE PRECLASSIC LANDSCAPES AND AQUATIC RESOURCE USE AT CUELLO, BELIZE Arlene Fradkinl and H. Sorayya Carf The aquatic animals identified among the vertebrate faunal remains recovered in the 1990-1993 excavations at the Maya site of Cuello, Belize, are examined. The detected patterns of aquatic resource use are comparable to those described by Elizabeth Wing and Sylvia Scudder in their faunal analysis from previous excavations. These zooarchaeological findings, combined with paleoecological data, suggest that the people of Cuello focused their aquatic resource procurement efforts primarily on local wetland habitats, which may have formed part of a managed landscape surrounding their community in the Middle Preclassic period. Key words: aquatic resources,.Belize, Cuello, Maya, Middle Preclassic, zooarchaeology The archaeological site of Cuello in northern Belize (Fig. the small mud turtle (Kinosternon spp.) throughout the 1) has yielded abundant information on many aspects of Middle Preclassic (p. 85). ancient Maya life. Extensive excavations conducted over When Hammond et al. (1995) reopened excavations the past three decades, under the direction of Norman atCuello in 1990-1993, they focused primarily on Middle Hammond, have revealed a long occupational record, Preclassic contexts, thus expanding the faunal database. spanning the earliest Middle Preclassic through the Early When we were given the opportunity to study this new Classic (ca. 1200 B.C.-A.D. 400). Cuello is especially material, one of our primary objectives was to examine important for having a substantial amount of material the aquatic animal remains in light of the previous findings. cultural remains dating to the Middle Preclassic, a time We were particularly interested in determining the period poorly represented at most Maya sites.
