First Report of Neopolystoma Price, 1939 (Monogenea: Polystomatidae) with the Description of Three New Species Louis H
Du Preez et al. Parasites & Vectors (2017) 10:53 DOI 10.1186/s13071-017-1986-y RESEARCH Open Access Tracking platyhelminth parasite diversity from freshwater turtles in French Guiana: First report of Neopolystoma Price, 1939 (Monogenea: Polystomatidae) with the description of three new species Louis H. Du Preez1,2*, Mathieu Badets1, Laurent Héritier1,3,4 and Olivier Verneau1,3,4 Abstract Background: Polystomatid flatworms in chelonians are divided into three genera, i.e. Polystomoides Ward, 1917, Polystomoidella Price, 1939 and Neopolystoma Price, 1939, according to the number of haptoral hooks. Among the about 55 polystome species that are known to date from the 327 modern living chelonians, only four species of Polystomoides are currently recognised within the 45 South American freshwater turtles. Methods: During 2012, several sites in the vicinity of the cities Cayenne and Kaw in French Guiana were investigated for freshwater turtles. Turtles were collected at six sites and the presence of polystomatid flatworms was assessed from the presence of polystome eggs released by infected specimens. Results: Among the three turtle species that were collected, no polystomes were found in the gibba turtle Mesoclemmys gibba (Schweigger, 1812). The spot-legged turtle Rhinoclemmys punctularia (Daudin, 1801) was infected with two species of Neopolystoma Price, 1939, one in the conjunctival sacs and the other in the urinary bladder, while the scorpion mud turtle Kinosternon scorpioides (Linnaeus, 1766) was found to be infected with a single Neopolystoma species in the conjunctival sacs. These parasites could be distinguished from known species of Neopolystoma by a combination of morphological characteristics including body size, number and length of genital spines, shape and size of the testis. -

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. -

Gibba Turtle) Family: Chelidae (Snake-Necked Turtles) Order: Testudines (Turtles and Tortoises) Class: Reptilia (Reptiles)
UWI The Online Guide to the Animals of Trinidad and Tobago Behaviour Mesoclemmys gibba (Gibba Turtle) Family: Chelidae (Snake-necked Turtles) Order: Testudines (Turtles and Tortoises) Class: Reptilia (Reptiles) Fig. 1. Gibba turtle, Mesoclemmys gibba. [http://www.chelonia.org/Phrynopsgibbus1.JPG, downloaded 25 October 2012] TRAITS. Mesoclemmys gibba, commonly known as the gibba turtle, was previously known as Phrynops gibbus (McCord et al., 2001). The upper region of the shell is known as the carapace which varies in colour from black to chestnut brown or dark grey (Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens, 2010). The carapace does not have a pattern. The length of an adult Mesoclymmys gibba measures from 23-30cm. The carapace length in males however does not exceed 17cm (Murphy, 2014) and the size of hatchlings range from 43 to 48mm (Mittermeier et al., 1978). The ellipsoidal carapace can be slightly bowed with a shallow supracaudal notch (above the tail). Small posterior projections or low keels may be present on the 3rd to 5th broad vertebrals. Therefore the surface can either be slightly roughened, due to the uneven medial keel, or smooth (Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens, 2010). “Neural bones vary from none to five, but, if present, they are rudimentary and never contact the nuchal” (Pritchard and Trebbau, 1984). The bottom region of the shell is known as the plastron which varies in colour from yellow to red brown. It is wide and long, well-developed, somewhat inverted anteriorly with a deep anal notch posteriorly. On each scute there is a brown patch with a possible narrow yellow border occurring anteriorly and UWI The Online Guide to the Animals of Trinidad and Tobago Behaviour posteriorly (Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens 2010). -

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.
