Directional asymmetry in yellow-bellied sliders (Trachemys scripta scripta) (Schoepff 1792)
(Societas Europaea Herpetologica (SEH), 2020-08-05)Bilateral symmetry is not uncommon in animal kingdom, and animals can deviate from expected symmetry and manifest some forms of asymmetries. Fluctuating asymmetry is considered a tool for valuating developmental instability, ... -
Elliptic Fourier analysis of plastral pigmentation patterns in two populations of Western Hermann's tortoise (Testudo hermanni hermanni)
(The Biosciences Reseach Publisher, 2015-02-03)Testudo hermanni) is widely distributed in western and southern Europe. As reptiles exhibit strong geographical variation in most morphological, as well as life history traits, gathering data from distant areas is important. ... -
