| emendation and new species of hapalorhynchus stunkard, 1922 (digenea: schistosomatoidea) from musk turtles (kinosternidae: sternotherus) in alabama and florida rivers. | hapalorhynchus stunkard, 1922 is emended based on morphological study of existing museum specimens (type and voucher specimens) and newly-collected specimens infecting musk turtles (testudines: kinosternidae: sternotherus spp.) from rivers in alabama and florida (usa). hapalorhynchus conecuhensis n. sp. is described from an innominate musk turtle, sternotherus cf. minor, (type host) from blue spring (31°5'27.64″n, 86°30'53.21″w; pensacola bay basin, alabama) and the loggerhead musk turtle, stern ... | 2017 | 28893635 |
| blood viscosity and hematological changes during prolonged submergence in normoxic water of northern and southern musk turtles (sternotherus odoratus). | musk turtles (sternotherus odoratus) can survive at least 150 days of submergence in normoxic water at 3 degreesc, during which time there are large increases in packed cell volume (pcv). we investigated the effects of submergence in normoxic water at 3 degreesc on the blood viscosity of musk turtles from northern (massachusetts) and southern (alabama) locales. blood was collected from air-breathing turtles and after 20, 50, 100, and 150 days of submergence in normoxic water at 3 degreesc. hemat ... | 2000 | 11110159 |
