Structure and function of the feeding apparatus in the common musk turtle Sternotherus odoratus (Chelonia, Kinosternidae)
The present study examined the kinematic patterns of initial food uptake, food transport, pharyngeal packing and swallowing in the common musk turtle Sternotherus odoratus. These data are supplemented by morphological descriptions of the skull and the hyolingual complex. Although the hyoid is mainly cartilaginous, S. odoratus still use exclusively hydrodynamic mechanisms in prey capture and pre...
متن کاملMolecular phylogenetics of the mud and musk turtle family Kinosternidae.
The turtle family Kinosternidae comprises 25 living species of mud and musk turtles confined to the New World. Previous attempts to reconstruct a phylogenetic history of the group have employed morphological, isozyme, and limited mitochondrial DNA sequence data, but have not been successful in producing a well-resolved phylogeny. With tissues from every recognized species and most subspecies, w...

متن کاملComparative shell buffering properties correlate with anoxia tolerance in freshwater turtles.
Freshwater turtles as a group are more resistant to anoxia than other vertebrates, but some species, such as painted turtles, for reasons not fully understood, can remain anoxic at winter temperatures far longer than others. Because buffering of lactic acid by the shell of the painted turtle is crucial to its long-term anoxic survival, we have tested the hypothesis that previously described dif...
متن کاملHerpetologists' League Phylogeographic Patterns in Kinosternon subrubrum and K. baurii Based on Mitochondrial DNA Restriction Analyses Author(s):
We used restriction assays of mitochondrial (mt) DNA to estimate phylogeographic variation in two sister taxa of muid turtles in the southeastern United States. Extensive mtDNA variation characterized Kinosternon subrubrum and, to a lesser degree, K. baurii. Each of 26 mtDNA haplotypes from the 83 assayed specimens was localized spatially. Collectively, these mtDNA haplotypes demarcated four ma...
