| [tropical turtles chromosomes: kinosternon leucostomum, trachemys scripta and staurotypus triporcatus (testudines: kinosternidae/emydidae)]. | mexico is a biodiverse country in several taxa as reptiles, that include several species of freshwater and marine turtles. eventhough most of this group species are under protection, tabasco state has nine native freshwater turtles, like kinosternon leucostomum, trachemys scripta and staurotypus triporcatus that are very important in traditional dishes. this has resulted in a critical level of their populations, together with little biological knowledge for their conservation. therefore, this st ... | 2014 | 25102649 |
| molecular identification and first description of the male of neoechinorhynchus schmidti (acanthocephala: neoechinorhynchidae), a parasite of trachemys scripta (testudines) in méxico. | the morphology of the males of neoechinorhynchus schmidti (acanthocephala: neoechinorhynchidae) is unknown, because this species was described based exclusively on females. however, recently we collected 2 common slider turtles trachemys scripta in centla swamps, tabasco, mexico, parasitized by 27 specimens of an acanthocephalan whose females were morphologically identical to n. schmidti. the domains d2 and d3 of the large subunit of the nuclear ribosomal rna (lsu) of 3 males and 2 females of th ... | 2011 | 21840414 |
