  • Demographic Consequences of Superabundance in Krefft's River
    i The comparative ecology of Krefft’s River Turtle Emydura krefftii in Tropical North Queensland. By Dane F. Trembath B.Sc. (Zoology) Applied Ecology Research Group University of Canberra ACT, 2601 Australia A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Masters of Applied Science (Resource Management). August 2005. ii Abstract An ecological study was undertaken on four populations of Krefft’s River Turtle Emydura krefftii inhabiting the Townsville Area of Tropical North Queensland. Two sites were located in the Ross River, which runs through the urban areas of Townsville, and two sites were in rural areas at Alligator Creek and Stuart Creek (known as the Townsville Creeks). Earlier studies of the populations in Ross River had determined that the turtles existed at an exceptionally high density, that is, they were superabundant, and so the Townsville Creek sites were chosen as low abundance sites for comparison. The first aim of this study was to determine if there had been any demographic consequences caused by the abundance of turtle populations of the Ross River. Secondly, the project aimed to determine if the impoundments in the Ross River had affected the freshwater turtle fauna. Specifically this study aimed to determine if there were any difference between the growth, size at maturity, sexual dimorphism, size distribution, and diet of Emydura krefftii inhabiting two very different populations. A mark-recapture program estimated the turtle population sizes at between 490 and 5350 turtles per hectare. Most populations exhibited a predominant female sex-bias over the sampling period. Growth rates were rapid in juveniles but slowed once sexual maturity was attained; in males, growth basically stopped at maturity, but in females, growth continued post-maturity, although at a slower rate.

  • New Records of Mesoclemmys Raniceps (Testudines, Chelidae) for the States of Amazonas, Pará and Rondônia, North Brazil, Including the Tocantins Basin
    Herpetology Notes, volume 12: 283-289 (2019) (published online on 18 February 2019) New records of Mesoclemmys raniceps (Testudines, Chelidae) for the states of Amazonas, Pará and Rondônia, North Brazil, including the Tocantins basin Elizângela Silva Brito1,*, Rafael Martins Valadão2, Fábio Andrew G. Cunha3, Cristiane Gomes de Araújo4, Patrik F.

Of these, nine occur in the Amazon basin, (approximately 330 mm carapace length - CL; Rueda- including species of the genera Chelus, Mesoclemmys, Almonacid et al., 2007), inhabits streams and flooded Platemys, Phrynops and Rhinemys (Ferrara et al., 2017). forest, but can also be found in rivers, shallow lakes and The genus Mesoclemmys is the most diverse in Brazil, temporary pools in the forest (Vogt, 2008; Ferrara et and five of the eight species of Mesoclemmys in Brazil al., 2017). Mesoclemmys raniceps is relatively easy to occur within the Amazon basin (Souza, 2005; Ferrara identify, especially as an adult. Specimens of this species et al., 2017). Species of genus Mesoclemmys are rare have a large broad head, which is approximately one and inconspicuous when compared to other freshwater quarter of the length of the CL (head width between 23- turtles, and live in hard-to-reach places, to extent that 27%). The head is dark, but may show depigmentation in populations are rarely studied. This genus represents adults, resulting in a lighter color, generally in patches, the least studied among Amazonian turtles (Vogt, 2008; as shown in Figure 2 (af).

  • Geographical Distribution Patterns of South American Side-Necked Turtles (Chelidae), with Emphasis on Brazilian Species
    Rev. Esp. Herp. (2005) 19:33-46 Geographical distribution patterns of South American side-necked turtles (Chelidae), with emphasis on Brazilian species FRANCO LEANDRO SOUZA Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul, Centro de Ciências Biológicas e da Saúde, Departamento de Biologia, 79070-900 Campo Grande, MS, Brazil (e-mail: [email protected]) Abstract: The Chelidae (side-necked turtles) are the richest and most widespread turtle family in South America with endemic patterns at the species level related to water basins. Based on available literature records, the geographic distribution of the 22 recognized chelid species from South America was examined in relation to water basins and for the 19 Brazilian species also in light of climate and habitat characteristics. Species-distribution maps were used to identify species richness in a given area. Parsimony analysis of endemicity (PAE) was employed to verify the species-areas similarities and relationships among the species. For Brazilian species, annual rainfall in each water basin explained 81% of variation in turtle distribution and at a regional scale (country-wide) temperature also influenced their distribution. While rainfall had a significant positive relationship with species number in a given area, a negative but non-significant relationship was identified for temperature. Excepting an unresolved clade formed by some northern water basins, well-defined northern-northeastern and central-south groups (as identified for water basins) as well as biome differentiation give support to a hypothesis of a freshwater turtle fauna regionalization. Also, a more general biogeographical pattern is evidenced by those Brazilian species living in open or closed formations.

    AUSTRALIAN BIODIVERSITY RECORD ______________________________________________________________ 2007 (No 2) ISSN 1325-2992 March, 2007 ______________________________________________________________ Some Taxonomic and Nomenclatural Considerations on the Class Reptilia in Australia. Some Comments on the Elseya dentata (Gray, 1863) complex with Redescriptions of the Johnstone River Snapping Turtle, Elseya stirlingi Wells and Wellington, 1985 and the Alligator Rivers Snapping Turtle, Elseya jukesi Wells 2002. by Richard W. Wells P.O. Box 826, Lismore, New South Wales Australia, 2480 Introduction As a prelude to further work on the Chelidae of Australia, the following considerations relate to the Elseya dentata species complex. See also Wells and Wellington (1984, 1985) and Wells (2002 a, b; 2007 a, b.). Elseya Gray, 1867 1867 Elseya Gray, Ann. Mag. Natur. Hist., (3) 20: 44. – Subsequently designated type species (Lindholm 1929): Elseya dentata (Gray, 1863). Note: The genus Elseya is herein considered to comprise only those species with a very wide mandibular symphysis and a distinct median alveolar ridge on the upper jaw. All members of the latisternum complex lack a distinct median alveolar ridge on the upper jaw and so are removed from the genus Elseya (see Wells, 2007b). This now restricts the genus to the following Australian species: Elseya albagula Thomson, Georges and Limpus, 2006 2006 Elseya albagula Thomson, Georges and Limpus, Chelon. Conserv. Biol., 5: 75; figs 1-2, 4 (top), 5a,6a, 7. – Type locality: Ned Churchwood Weir (25°03'S 152°05'E), Burnett River, Queensland, Australia. Elseya dentata (Gray, 1863) 1863 Chelymys dentata Gray, Ann.

  • 295-311, 2005 ABSTRACT a New Species of South American Side
    Volume 45(24):295-311, 2005 A NEW SPECIES OF MESOCLEMMYS, FROM THE OPEN FORMATIONS OF NORTHEASTERN BRAZIL (CHELONII, CHELIDAE) ROGER BOUR1,2 HUSSAM ZAHER1,3 ABSTRACT A new species of South American side-necked turtle is described from the state of Piauí, Brazil. It is related to the Amazonian species of the genus Mesoclemmys s.l. (new acceptation) and is apparently a biogeographically relictual population of a species formerly living under a more humid climate in northeastern Brazil.

  • PHRYNOPS TUBEROSUS (NCN): DEFENSIVE BEHAVIOUR. Animals
    Natural History Notes PHRYNOPS TUBEROSUS (NCN): DEFENSIVE BEHAVIOUR. Animals use various strategies to remain less visible and to avoid predation, such as camouflage, aposematism, thanatosis, among others (e.g. Stevens & Merilaita, 2009). The high mortality of juveniles and hatchlings is an important part of turtles’ life history, since the young are preyed on by ants (Parris et al., 2002), fishes (Gyuris, 1994) and birds (Janzen et al., 2000). Behaviour that enables predator evasion is therefore key for survival; this note reports an example of a cryptic behaviour in a juvenile Phrynops tuberosus. The observation was made in May 2012, during a field expedition to Cedro’s dam, located in the municipality of Quixadá, Ceará, Figure 1. Juvenile of P. tuberosus partly buried. It Brazil. A juvenile P. tuberosus (carapace length is possible to observe the less evident orange spots = 6.44 cm) was captured under a bank of mainly on the animal’s left side and the accumulated floating macrophytes, marked by removal of a sludge and sand over the margins of the carapace and the neck.

When returned to where it was Janzen, F.J., Tucker, J.K. & Paukstis, G.L. captured, the turtle made alternating movements (2000).
