Twelve chromatically opponent ganglion cell types in turtle retina
(CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS, 2008)
The turtle retina has been extensively used for the study of chromatic processing mechanisms. Color opponency has been previously investigated with trichromatic paradigms, but behavioral studies show that the turtle has ...
Pollution-induced metabolic responses in hypoxia-tolerant freshwater turtles
(2013-11-01)
The physiological control to support the absence of O2 for long periods of diving, and oxidative damage impact caused by the whole process of hypoxia/reperfusion in freshwater turtles is well known. However, effects of ...

(Zoological Society of Japan, 2013-08)
Terrestrial environments surrounding aquatic resources are important and intensively used by semi-aquatic species. In the present work, terrestrial dispersal and nesting sites of the freshwater turtle Phrynops hilarii were ...
Developmental basis of limb homology in Pleurodiran turtles, and the identity of the hooked element in the chelonian tarsus
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2009-04)
Although Pleurodiran turtles represent an important component of extant turtle radiation, our knowledge of the development and homology of limb bones in turtles rests mostly upon observations made on derived members of the ...
Young green turtles, Chelonia mydas, exposed to plastic in a frontal area of the SW Atlantic

Cytochemical characterization of eosinophilic leukocytes circulating in the blood of the turtle (Chrysemys dorbignih)
(Urban & Fischer Verlag, 2003-01-01)
Eosinophils and neutrophils are granulocytic leukocytes that are present in the blood of most vertebrates. Studies have been performed on lower vertebrates to understand the biological roles of the cells in defense mechanisms ...
