Four other species, previously confused with or placed in the synonymy of S. indicus, have been either redescribed (Stolephorus commersonnii), described as new (Stolephorus belaerius), or resurrected from its synonymy (Stolephorus balinensis and Stolephorus scitulus). The new species shares with the latter four species, plus S. indicus, a relatively short maxilla and pelvic fins, and six or fewer prepelvic scutes but differs from them in the combination of some other characters, including intermediate numbers of gill rakers (total gill rakers on first gill arch 40–43, modally 41), 41 vertebrae, a large head and narrower interorbital area, and longer pelvic fins. A genetic analysis of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene (COI) of S. meteorum, new species, S. balinensis, S. belaerius, and S. indicus revealed each species to be genetically divergent from the others by 2.5–3.6% uncorrected distance.","PeriodicalId":29892,"journal":{"name":"Ichthyology and Herpetology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48349719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Towards a Diagnostic Tool for Turtle Ootaxonomy: Investigation of Microstructural Differences in the Eggshells of Australian Freshwater Turtles","authors":"Geoffrey N. Hughes, Louise M. Streeting, A. Burns, P. Mcdonald","doi":"10.1643/h2021125","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1643/h2021125","url":null,"abstract":"Researchers frequently encounter turtle nests after the nest has been raided, finding only eggshell fragments that are difficult to identify. Valuable information on the breeding biology and needs of different species might still be collected from these nests if remains could be confidently assigned to a particular species. However, this can be difficult if there are multiple turtle species nesting within an area at a given time, and gross-scale characteristics such as egg size and shape are no longer available due to damage. This study examined eggshell microstructure, by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), among multiple species of freshwater turtle eggshell fragments, with the aim of potentially developing a diagnostic tool for species identification. Eggshell fragments were collected from known sources of four species of turtle native to eastern Australia: Eastern Long-necked Turtle (Chelodina longicollis), Murray River Turtle (Emydura macquarii), Bell's Turtle (Myuchelys bellii), and Bellinger River Turtle (M. georgesi). Fragments were scanned and analyzed for microstructural and ultrastructural features, and measured for differences in feature size across species. Central plaque diameter emerged as a potential diagnostic feature for separating species, with longneck turtle eggshells having no visible plaques, Murray River Turtle eggshells having relatively small mean plaque size (19.8 µm ± 10.28 SD), while Bell's Turtle (43.5 µm ± 14.16 SD) and Bellinger River Turtle eggshells (41.9 µm ± 15.41 SD) had relatively large plaques with little overlap between genera. Other measured features (shell unit size, basal knob size, and shell unit density) significantly differed in means among species but overlapped in range, or showed a lack of statistical difference, likely preventing the technique being definitive with a single measure. Some of this variance may be due to inherent confounding factors, such as the replicability of fragment preparation, condition of eggshells, and stage of embryonic development at the time of collection. These results suggest that use of measurements of microstructural features has promise as a means for distinguishing the provenance of eggshell fragments, and further investigation is warranted to develop site-specific protocols for use as a diagnostic tool for turtle ootaxonomy.","PeriodicalId":29892,"journal":{"name":"Ichthyology and Herpetology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49505440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Plasma Vitellogenin and Testosterone in Diamond-backed Terrapins (Malaclemys terrapin) during the Nesting Season in Coastal New Jersey","authors":"Stephanie A. Wolfe, Jordan Donini, R. Valverde","doi":"10.1643/h2020122","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1643/h2020122","url":null,"abstract":"Vitellogenesis is the process in which female oviparous vertebrates synthesize the protein vitellogenin to develop egg yolk. In some species, vitellogenin has been used to investigate reproductive status, as a biomarker of clutch size and nesting frequency, and as a biomarker of exposure to endocrine-disruptive chemicals. The Diamond-backed Terrapin (Malaclemys terrapin) is an obligate coastal species that in the northern extent of its range nests in the spring and summer months. Diamond-backed Terrapins serve as a key indicator species of coastal ecosystem health; thus, furthering our understanding of the endocrine control of reproduction may inform biologists of the health and status of coastal ecosystems. The objective of this study was to quantify baseline values of vitellogenin and testosterone in Diamond-backed Terrapins during the nesting season, in the northern part of their range. Blood samples were taken from adult female terrapins from two populations in coastal New Jersey from June–August. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) were used to quantify vitellogenin (VTG) and testosterone (T) across the nesting season. VTG concentrations showed peak values in the earliest part of the nesting season, significantly declining through the summer before reaching basal values in August, with T showing a similar trend. This suggests that terrapins in New Jersey follow a similar reproductive cycle to other turtle species from temperate latitudes. Additionally, we found that larger females exhibited higher concentration of T and VTG than smaller females. This suggests that VTG and T are useful biomarkers of reproductive output in these animals. Lastly, we also noted that larger females tended to nest earlier in the nesting season than smaller females. We hypothesize that larger females may compete for resources more effectively and efficiently than smaller females, which may confer larger individuals a fitness advantage.","PeriodicalId":29892,"journal":{"name":"Ichthyology and Herpetology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44307653","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
