Sexual and seasonal differences in behavior of Trachemys scripta (Testudines:
Emydidae).
The red-eared slider (Trachemys scripta, Schoepff, 1792;
Emydidae) is an invasive species that is currently breeding in the Iberian Peninsula [9,10].
Five of the 20 samples tested were donkey-hide gelatins, belonging to the family Equidae, six samples were bovine-hide gelatins belonging to the family Bovidae, three samples were porcine-hide gelatins belonging to the family Suidae, three samples were deerhorn gelatins belonging to the family Cervidae, and three samples were of Tortoise shell glue, belonging to the family
Emydidae. Twenty commercial samples were collected on market.
We tested for substrate induced melanization in four turtle families (Chelydridae,
Emydidae, Kinostemidae, and Trionychidae) by rearing turtles on black or white substrates.
Several species of Neoechinorhynchus are known from North America in various species of turtles within the families Chelydridae,
Emydidae, and Trionychidae (Barger 2004; Barger & Nickol 2004; Ernst & Ernst 1977).
A beautifully marked chelonian in the family
Emydidae, it is readily identified by the orange spots below the posterior end of the jaw and yellow plastron.
Among the families are Dermochelyidae: leatherback sea turtles,
Emydidae: basking and box turtles, Alligatoridae: alligators and caiman, Gekkonidae: geckos, Corytophanidae: basilisks, and Varanidae: monitors.
