Cold-Tolerance of Hatchling Painted Turtles (Chrysemys picta bellii) from the Southern Limit of Distribution
Painted turtles (Chrysemys picta) have a natural history unlike that of other chelonians from the northern United States and southern Canada. Although neonates of other freshwater turtles usually emerge from their subterranean nests in late summer or autumn and move to nearby marshes, lakes, or streams to spend their first winter, hatchling painted turtles typically remain inside their shallow ...
متن کاملLactic acid buffering by bone and shell in anoxic softshell and painted turtles.
We tested two hypotheses: first, that the inferior anoxia tolerance of the softshell turtle, Apalone spinifera, compared to the western painted turtle, Chrysemys picta bellii, is related to its less mineralized shell, and second, that turtle bone, like its shell, stores lactate during prolonged anoxia. Lactate concentrations of blood, hindlimb bone, and shell were measured on normoxic Apalone a...
متن کاملAn enhanced developmental staging table for the painted turtle, Chrysemys picta (Testudines: Emydidae).
Normal developmental staging tables often undergo expansion and enhancement in response to advancing research paradigms and technologies. The Painted Turtle, Chrysemys picta, has long been a preferred reference taxon for comparative embryology and recently became the first turtle species to feature a sequenced genome. However, modern descriptive studies on embryogenesis are lacking and an earli...
متن کاملMolecular systematics, phylogeography, and the effects of Pleistocene glaciation in the painted turtle (Chrysemys picta) complex.
The painted turtle, Chrysemys picta, is currently recognized as a continentally distributed polytypic species, ranging across North America from southern Canada to extreme northern Mexico. We analyzed variation in the rapidly evolving mitochondrial control region (CR) in 241 turtles from 117 localities across this range to examine whether the painted turtle represents a continentally distribute...
متن کاملSelected aspects of semi-aquatic turtle assemblages in east-central Kansas ponds
Ponds are common in many agricultural landscapes and provide aquatic habitat for wildlife. Most studies of semi-aquatic turtle assemblages have been conducted in lotic environments or large lentic habitats (e.g., lakes, reservoirs), but few studies have described pond communities. We used Frame nets and basking traps to sample turtle assemblages within eight ponds located in east-central Kansas...
