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 …

Global salinization of freshwaters is adversely affecting biotic communities and ecosystem
processes. We reviewed six decades (1960–2020) of literature published on animal …

Climate change agitates interactions between organisms and the environment and forces
them to adapt, migrate, get replaced by others, or extinct. Marine environments are …

We present a review and analysis of the conservation status and International Union for
Conservation of Nature (IUCN) threat categories of all 360 currently recognized species of …

Oceans and coasts provide important ecosystem, livelihood, and cultural values to humans
and the planet but face current and future compounding threats from anthropogenic activities …

The use of ecological niche models to predict how future climate change may impact habitat
suitability is a critical component of imperiled species management. These models allow for …

The northwestern pond turtle, Actinemys marmorata, and its recently recognized sister
species, the southwestern pond turtle, A. pallida, are the sole aquatic testudines occurring …

Salinity is an important abiotic factor in aquaculture because of its significance in the
multiple physiological progress of marine fish. The liver is the main organ involved in energy …

Organisms display a considerable variety of body sizes and shapes, and macroevolutionary
investigations help to understand the evolutionary dynamics behind such variations. Turtles …

This research paper introduces a sensor that utilizes a machine-learning model to predict
water salinity. The sensor's concept and design are established through a simulation …
