  • Chelonians of the Upper Miocene of Crevillente 2 (Alicante, Spain)
    Ediciones Universidad de Salamanca (España), 2002
    Co-Authors: Jiménez Fuentes Emiliano, Montoya Plinio
    Abstract:

    [ES] En el Mioceno superior (Turoliense inferior) de Crevillente 2 (Alicante) .se encuentran tres tipos de quelonios que testifican interfluvios en clima cálido. El más abundante corresponde a machos, hembras e inmaduros de Testudo catalaunica. También hay Testudínidos gigantes, Cbeirogaster bolivari, y un tercer quelonio de talla normal, no identificado.[EN] Three Chelonian forms have been found in the Upper Miocene (Lower Turolian) of Crevillente 2 (Alicante, Spain). The more abundant form is represented by males, females and immature specimens of Testudo catalaunica. A giant Testudinidae, Cheirogaster bolivari), and a third chelonian of normal size, not identified, are also reported

  • Presencia de Agrionemys (=Testudo) hermanni (Gmelin, 1789) en el Paleolítico Medio de la Gruta Nova da Columbeira (Bombarral, provincia de Estremadura, Portugal)
    Ediciones Universidad de Salamanca (España), 1998
    Co-Authors: Jiménez Fuentes Emiliano, Cardoso, João Luís, Crespo, Eduardo Gonçalves
    Abstract:

    [ES] Se describe Agrionemys (=Testudo) hermanni (Gmelin, 1789) (Chelonia, Testudinidae) en el Paleolítico Medio (ca -29.000 a -26.500 años) de la Gruta Nova da Columbeira (Bombarral, Estremadura, Portugal), donde su registro es muy abundante. Su presencia amplía considerablemente el área de distribución de la especie, hoy desaparecida en Portugal, en el pasado.[EN] Agrionemys ( = Testudo) hermanni (Gmelin, 1789) (Chelonia, Testudinidae) from the Middle Palaeolithic (ca -29.000 a -26.500 años) are described. Specimens appeared of the Gruta Nova da Columbeira (Bombarral, Estremadura, Portugal), where they were abundant.

  • Nota preliminar sobre nuevos ejemplares de quelonios fósiles del Plioceno de Las Higueruelas (Campo de Calatrava: Ciudad Real)
    Ediciones Universidad de Salamanca (España), 1994
    Co-Authors: Jiménez Fuentes Emiliano
    Abstract:

    [ES] Nuevos ejemplares fragmentarios de Testudinidae gigantes, del Plioceno de Las Higueruelas (Campo de Calatrava, Ciudad Real), permiten agruparlos en 3 rangos de tamaño diferente: menor (1,2 a 1,5 m), mediano (1,5 a 1,8 m) y mayor (1,7 a 2 m). Todos los caracteres que identifican a machos adultos se dan en el rango de talla mayor; los que probablemente son de hembras, en el de talla menor. Se sugiere que puede ser debido a hábitos en relación con el apareamiento y no a un dimorfismo sexual.[EN] New fragmentary specimens of giant Testudinidae from the Las Higueruelas fossil site (Pliocene, Campo de Calatrava, Ciudad Real province, Spain), may be classified in three different size ranges: small (1,2 to 1,5 m), medium (1,5 to 1,8 m) and large (1,7 to 2 m). All the features characterizing the adult males are related to those concerning the largest size; the characters related to the smallest size probably correspond to female individuals. It is suggested that this would be due to mating habits instead of to sexual dimorphism

  • extensive morphological convergence and rapid radiation in the evolutionary history of the family geoemydidae old world pond turtles revealed by sine insertion analysis
    Systematic Biology, 2006
    Co-Authors: Takeshi Sasaki, Yuichirou Yasukawa, Kazuhiko Takahashi, Seiko Miura, Andrew M Shedlock, Norihiro Okada
    Abstract:

    The family Geoemydidae is one of three in the superfamily Testudinoidea and is the most diversified family of extant turtle species. The phylogenetic relationships in this family and among related families have been vigorously investigated from both morphological and molecular viewpoints. The evolutionary history of Geoemydidae, however, remains controversial. Therefore, to elucidate the phylogenetic relationships of Geoemydidae and related species, we applied the SINE insertion method to investigate 49 informative SINE loci in 28 species. We detected four major evolutionary lineages (Testudinidae, Batagur group, Siebenrockiella group, and Geoemyda group) in the clade Testuguria (a clade of Geoemydidae + Testudinidae). All five specimens of Testudinidae form a monophyletic clade. The Batagur group comprises five batagurines. The Siebenrockiella group has one species, Siebenrockiella crassicollis. The Geoemyda group comprises 15 geoemydines (including three former batagurines, Mauremys reevesii, Mauremys sinensis, and Heosemys annandalii). Among these four groups, the SINE insertion patterns were inconsistent at four loci, suggesting that an ancestral species of Testuguria radiated and rapidly diverged into the four lineages during the initial stage of its evolution. Furthermore, within the Geoemyda group we identified three evolutionary lineages, namely Mauremys, Cuora, and Heosemys. The Heosemys lineage comprises Heosemys, Sacalia, Notochelys, and Melanochelys species, and its monophyly is a novel assemblage in Geoemydidae. Our SINE phylogenetic tree demonstrates extensive convergent morphological evolution between the Batagur group and the three species of the Geoemyda group, M. reevesii, M. sinensis, and H. annandalii.
