Compensatory growth responses to food restriction in the Chinese three-keeled pond turtle, Chinemys reevesii
Juvenile Chinese three-keeled pond turtles (Chinemys reevesii) were subjected to one of four different feeding regimens: ad libitum (AL), restricted (R), ad libitum-restricted (AL-R), or restricted-ad libitum (R-AL) for 13 weeks, to assess the compensatory growth (CG) response to food restriction and subsequent re-alimentation. After switching to ad libitum feeding, the turtles in R-AL group at...
متن کاملModelling Favourability for Invasive Species Encroachment to Identify Areas of Native Species Vulnerability
We assessed the vulnerability of the native Mediterranean pond turtle to encroachment by the invasive red-eared slider in southern Spain. We first obtained an ecogeographical favourability model for the Mediterranean pond turtle. We then modelled the presence/absence of the red-eared slider in the Mediterranean pond turtle range and obtained an encroachment favourability model. We also obtained...
متن کاملThe Embryonic Transcriptome of the Red-Eared Slider Turtle (Trachemys scripta)
The bony shell of the turtle is an evolutionary novelty not found in any other group of animals, however, research into its formation has suggested that it has evolved through modification of conserved developmental mechanisms. Although these mechanisms have been extensively characterized in model organisms, the tools for characterizing them in non-model organisms such as turtles have been limi...
متن کاملSpectral sensitivity of the photointrinsic iris in the red-eared slider turtle (Trachemys scripta elegans)
Our goal in this study was to examine the red-eared slider turtle for a photomechanical response (PMR) and define its spectral sensitivity. Pupils of enucleated eyes constricted to light by ∼11%, which was one-third the response measured in alert behaving turtles at ∼33%. Rates of constriction in enucleated eyes that were measured by time constants (1.44-3.70 min) were similar to those measured...
متن کاملThe Red-Eared Slider Turtle: An Animal Model for the Study of Low Doses and Mixtures1
SYNOPSIS. Current risk assessment techniques for almost all chemicals involve establishing a threshold dose, or the dose below which no adverse effects are seen. But threshold doses may not apply in situations where the chemical mimics the actions of an endogenous compound—such as a steroid hormone—that is important to development. In such cases, any exposure may exceed the threshold. Recent st...
