| | A Taxonomic Reevaluation of Phrynops (Testudines: Chelidae) |
| | Noticing clear differences between the South American side-necked species in the genus Emys and their congeners, the Australian side-necked turtles, Fitzinger (1826), advised by Oppel, erected the new genus Chelodina for the Australian forms, with Emys longicollis of eastern Australia as the generotype. | | | The oldest known Chelonians (Proterochersis Fraas 1913), from the upper Triassic, belong to the Pleurodira. | | | All chelonians (24 species) were placed in the genus Testudo (Linnaeus 1758), but no toadhead turtles were known at that time. |

| | ADW: Testudines: Information |
| | Three important differences between Proganochelys and modern turtles are the presence of the palatal teeth (lost in modern species), the inability to retract the head within the shell, and the lack of a trochlear pulley in the jaw closing anatomy. | | | The limb bones are also modified to accommodate to the shell. | | | Reptiles are traditionally classified according to the pattern of fenestration in the temporal region of the skull, and turtles are placed in the subclass Anapsida because they lack fenestration. |

| | Testudines: Life History and Ecology |
| | Proganochelys was similar to a modern tortoise, so it may have been an herbivore like the Galapagos tortoise Geochelone. | | | Whether the first turtles (the ancestors of the other Testudines) were marine, freshwater, or terrestrial is a matter of much debate; the earliest known turtle, Proganochelys was probably terrestrial, so it is likely that the first turtles were likewise primarily land-dwelling. | | | We can deduce much of what early turtles were like by looking at their living relatives, but must do so with a certain amount of caution, as we cannot a priori assume that extinct animals which appear similar to living ones were identical in habits. |

| | In addition, further study is necessary to determine the impact of habitat fragmentation and introduced species, as well as whether species are able to survive in urban and suburban areas. | | | One problem identified with the question of riparian or wooded buffer needed is that although this is not relevant for many turtles, data are known to exist on the topic of buffer distances for occupied wetland habitats; we were unable to include these data in this version of the Testudines Data Matrix. | | | With these questions, a data matrix was created with herpetofaunal species (common and scientific names provided) making up the rows and the question topics making up the columns. |

| | 'Testudines' is also used in Linnaeus (1758), but as Bour and Dubois (1985) correctly noted, that should not be considered a formal name, because it only represents the correct grammatical declination (nominative plural) of Linnaeus's 'Testudo' as required by Latin grammar. | | | The first formal use of the word Testudines as a taxon name can be found in Batsch (1788). | | | Therefore, the first formal use of Testudines Batsch, 1788 postdates the first formal use of Testudinata Klein, 1760 by more than a quarter century. |

| | INTRODUCTION |
| | Fossil records indicate that turtles first made their appearance on earth around 185 million years ago (early Triassic). | | | Turtles belong to the order Testudines which is one of the oldest amongst the reptiles, even older than the dinosaurs. | | | It is believed that they descended from a group of fish known as the rhipidistians (nearest living relative is the coelacanth). |

| | In case you were wondering about the declension, we all may be guys, and Testudo is referred to as "he" in the "traditions page" (the "Testudo" link), testudo, testudinis is grammatically feminine. | | | As long as I'm talking about names, our school's mascot, a Diamondback Terrapin, is nicknamed "Testudo." Catholicae Testudines, besides being a nod to this, is the nearest we could render "Catholic Terps" [Terrapins] into Latin (the site http://catholicterps.org/ is the website of our Newman center). | | | Unless it's scholarly or something, don't give it a predictable name; call it "Mutant Zombie Chicken" or something, because people will remember a name like that, and they'll also visit just to find out why it's called that (watch, now we'll start getting hits from people searching for that on Google). |
