Marine reptiles
Of the more than 12,000 species and subspecies of extant reptiles, about 100 have re-
entered the ocean. Among them are seven species of sea turtles and about 80 species and …

A global phylogeny of turtles reveals a burst of climate-associated diversification on continental margins
Living turtles are characterized by extraordinarily low species diversity given their age. The
clade's extensive fossil record indicates that climate and biogeography may have played …

A universal scaling relationship between body mass and proximal limb bone dimensions in quadrupedal terrestrial tetrapods
Background Body size is intimately related to the physiology and ecology of an organism.
Therefore, accurate and consistent body mass estimates are essential for inferring …

A nomenclature for fossil and living turtles using phylogenetically defined clade names
Over the last 25 years, researchers, mostly paleontologists, have developed a system of
rank-free, phylogenetically defined names for the primary clades of turtles. As these names …

Multilocus phylogeny and statistical biogeography clarify the evolutionary history of major lineages of turtles
Despite their complex evolutionary history and the rich fossil record, the higher level
phylogeny and historical biogeography of living turtles have not been investigated in a …

Evidence from genetic and Lagrangian drifter data for transatlantic transport of small juvenile green turtles
Aim A key life‐history component for many animals is the need for movement between
different geographical locations at particular times. Green turtle (Chelonia mydas) hatchlings …
