“…Commonly, aquatic sites with red-eared sliders have one terrapin individual per water body, however the number varies and mean values are tens of individuals for different parts of Eurasia, with the highest abundance in East Asia, where the mean value is 62 individuals per water body. High numbers and biomass of this alien hydrobiont produces risks for native freshwater ecosystems Lee et al 2016;Salerno and van den Burg 2021). In Eurasia, the number of sliders may reach thousands of individuals per aquatic site (Perez-Santigosa et al 2008;Sancho and Lacomba 2013;Taniguchi et al 2017;Gong et al 2018).…”

The North American terrapin, the red-eared slider, has globally recognized invasive status. We built a new extensive database using our own original and literature data on the ecology of this reptile, representing information on 1477 water bodies throughout Eurasia over the last 50 years. The analysis reveals regions of earliest introductions and long-term spatio-temporal dynamics of the expansion covering now 68 Eurasian countries, including eight countries reported here for the first time. We established also long-term trends in terms of numbers of terrapins per aquatic site, habitat occupation, and reproduction success. Our investigation has revealed differences in the ecology of the red-eared slider in different parts of Eurasia. The most prominent expression of diverse signs of invasion success (higher portion of inhabited natural water bodies, higher number of individuals per water body, successful overwintering, occurrence of juvenile individuals, successful reproduction, and establishment of populations) are typical for Europe, West Asia and East Asia and tend to be restricted to coastal regions and islands. Reproduction records coincide well with the predicted potential range based on climatic requirements but records of successful wintering have a wider distribution. This invader provides an excellent and possibly unique (among animals) example of wide alien distribution, without the establishment of reproducing populations, but through the recruitment of new individuals to rising pseudopopulations due to additional releases. Therefore, alongside the potential reproduction range, a cost-effective strategy for population control must take in account the geographical area of successful wintering.

“…A total of 24 sequences (11 from GenBank, including two outgroups belonging to Cuora) were included for COI analysis and 31 sequences (18 from GenBank) for R35 analysis. The partial sequence (615 bp) of the mtDNA COI gene from the 13 specimens represented two distinct clades in the maximum likelihood 4). The pairwise sequence divergence between different clades ranged from 3.6% ± 0.7% to 4.4% ± 0.8%, and the overall sequence divergence was 2.6% ± 0.4%.…”

“…Mauremys is a globally traded group that was newly identified in the wild in South Korea in 2012 [3] (pp. [23][24][25][26], and its establishment in the country was confirmed in 2016 by Lee et al [4]. Adult M. sinensis individuals are approximately 25 cm in length, with females growing larger than males [2].…”

The Chinese striped-necked turtleMauremys sinensiswas first reported in the wild in South Korea in 2012. Owing to its potential to hybridize with the native and endangeredMauremys reevesiiin South Korea, leading to ecosystem disturbance,M. sinensiswas designated as an ecosystem-disturbing species (EDS; hereafter) in 2020. Such hybridization betweenM. sinensisandM. reevesiihas previously been reported in Taiwan. To protect and conserve the native South KoreanM. reevesiipopulation, the extent of its hybridization needed to be examined. Therefore, we developed novel high-resolution melting markers to elucidate the status of hybridization betweenMauremys sinensisandMauremys reevesiiin South Korea. We identified the presence ofM. sinensis,M. reevesii, and their hybrid across 47 sites in South Korea. Among these sites, five locations were confirmed as areas of sympatry for bothM. sinensisandM. reevesii, with one hybrid individual identified at the Jeonju-si site. In total, hybrids were identified at four different sites. For more definitive species identification, blood samples were collected from the specimens and subjected to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene and nuclear DNA (nDNA)R35gene analysis, leading to the identification of two more hybrids from two other sites. To date, no hybrids ofM. sinensishave been confirmed to reproduce in the wild, yet this requires further research for validation. The high-resolution melting (HRM) marker in theR35gene developed in this study yielded three distinct curves that were designated asM. sinensis,M. reevesii, andM. sinensis×M. reevesii, aligning with those of theR35gene sequencing. The novel markers developed in this study serve as a valuable tool that can be used in future research on rapid detection of hybridization.

“…The peninsula cooter has not been an invasive species yet, but it is possible that it will be designated as an invasive species soon (Lee et al. 2016 ). However, the survey for the invasive species is still insufficient.…”

Complete mitochondrial genome of the peninsula cooter (Pseudemys peninsularis, Testudines: Emydidae) in Korea

The complete mitochondrial genome of Pseudemys peninsularis in Korea was sequenced and characterized. The mitochondrial genome is constituted of 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and two ribosomal RNA genes) and a noncoding region. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 13 protein-coding gene sequences showed that P. peninsularis has closer relationship with Chrysemys picta than Trachemys scripta elegans. This is the first case for a complete mitochondrial genome from P. peninsularis , which will provide information for biogeographical studies and management plans for invasive species.
