The conservation status of the world's reptiles
Effective and targeted conservation action requires detailed information about species, their distribution, systematics and ecology as well as the distribution of threat processes which affect them.… Expand
Modelling Development of Reptile Embryos under Fluctuating Temperature Regimes
- A. Georges, K. Beggs, J. Young, J. Doody
- Biology, Medicine
- Physiological and Biochemical Zoology
- 1 January 2005
An increase in temperature, within bounds, will accelerate development of reptile embryos, and morphogenesis can be normal over a range of temperatures despite those varying rates of development.… Expand
Nest site choice compensates for climate effects on sex ratios in a lizard with environmental sex determination
- J. Doody, Enzo Guarino, A. Georges, B. Corey, G. Murray, M. Ewert
- Biology
- Evolutionary Ecology
- 1 July 2006
Theoretical models suggest that in changing environments natural selection on two traits, maternal nesting behaviour and pivotal temperatures (those that divide the sexes) is important for… Expand
Temperature Sex Reversal Implies Sex Gene Dosage in a Reptile
- A. Quinn, A. Georges, S. Sarre, F. Guarino, T. Ezaz, J. Graves
- Biology, Medicine
- Science
- 20 April 2007
Sex in reptiles is determined by genes on sex chromosomes or by incubation temperature. Previously these two modes were thought to be distinct, yet we show that high incubation temperatures reverse… Expand
Hatchling sex in the marine turtle Caretta caretta is determined by proportion of development at a temperature, not daily duration of exposure
- A. Georges, C. Limpus, R. Stoutjesdijk
- Biology
- 1 December 1994
Mean daily temperature in natural nests of freshwater turtles with temperature dependent sex determination is a poor predictor of hatchling sex ratios when nest temperatures fluctuate. To account for… Expand
The ends of a continuum: genetic and temperature‐dependent sex determination in reptiles
- S. Sarre, A. Georges, A. Quinn
- Biology, Medicine
- BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular…
- 1 June 2004
Two prevailing paradigms explain the diversity of sex‐determining modes in reptiles. Many researchers, particularly those who study reptiles, consider genetic and environmental sex‐determining… Expand
A phylogeny for side-necked turtles (Chelonia: Pleurodira) based on mitochondrial and nuclear gene sequence variation
- A. Georges, J. Birrell, K. Saint, W. Mccord, S. Donnellan
- Biology
- 1 June 1999
Aspects of the phylogeny of pleurodiran turtles are contentious, particularly within the Chelidae. Morphological analyses group the long-necked Australasian Chelodina and the long-necked South… Expand
Sex reversal triggers the rapid transition from genetic to temperature-dependent sex
- C. Holleley, D. O’Meally, +6 authors A. Georges
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 2 July 2015
Sex determination in animals is amazingly plastic. Vertebrates display contrasting strategies ranging from complete genetic control of sex (genotypic sex determination) to environmentally determined… Expand
A Global Analysis of Tortoise and Freshwater Turtle Distributions with Identification of Priority Conservation Areas
- K. Buhlmann, T. Akre, +6 authors J. Gibbons
- Biology
- 1 December 2009
Abstract There are currently ca. 317 recognized species of turtles and tortoises in the world. Of those that have been assessed on the IUCN Red List, 63% are considered threatened, and 10% are… Expand
Habitat utilization and its relationship to growth and reproduction of the eastern long-necked turtle, Chelodina longicollis (Testudinata: Chelidae), from Australia
- R. Kennett, A. Georges
- Biology
- 1990
Chelodina longicollis occupies a wide range of ephemeral and permanent waters in the Jervis Bay Territory of coastal New South Wales. As ephemeral waters dry up during periods of low rainfall, which… Expand
