Changes in selected blood components of the three-toed box turtle, Terrapene carolina triunguis, during heat stress

Venous blood gas in free-living eastern box turtles (Terrapene carolina carolina) and effects of physiologic, demographic and environmental factors

“…This is the most frequent response to a perceived threat in box turtles ( Smith and de Carvalho, 1985 ). A transient elevation in PCV is another component of the reptilian stress response ( Sturbaum and Bergman, 1981 ; Sturbaum, 1981 ; Franklin et al , 2003 ). Taken together, an elevated PCV in boxed or partially-boxed turtles may be indicative of stress.…”

Weights and Blood Profiles of the West African Hinge‐Backed Tortoise,Kinixys erosaand the Desert Tortoise,Gopherus agassizii

“…The haematologic and plasma biochemical data of several species of turtles have been studied by many authors (KAPLAN 1960; SHEELER and BARBER, 1964; THORSON, 1968; JACKSON et al, 1974;SEIDEL and REYNOLDS, 1980; STURBAUM and BERGMANN, 1981;TAYLOR and JACOBSON, 1982;ALLEMAN et al, 1992;CHRISTOPHER et al, 1994). However, to the authors knowledge, there is no information available in the literature on the blood parameters of the West African hinge-backed tortoise, E n i y s emu.…”
