testudo graeca การใช้

• The genetic richness of " Testudo graeca " is also shown in their crossbreeding.
• In the spur-thighed tortoise ( " Testudo graeca " ), both males and females have spurs.
• Modern researchers have identified the animals portrayed are " Testudo graeca ibera ", a variety of the Spur-thighed Tortoise.
• Reptiles native to the sea include spur-thighed tortoise ( " Testudo graeca buxtoni " ) and Horsfield's tortoise.
• Then ( on the ninth page ) he arrives at the first species in the volume, the Greek tortoise, " Testudo graeca ".
• Presumably, " Testudo marginata " diverged from ancestral " Testudo graeca " as a population more suited for life in the mountainous regions.
• So as not to become lost in the number of subspecies, recently a few tortoises previously classified as " Testudo graeca " have been assigned to different species, or even different genera.
• The viper species " Vipera nikolskii " ( Nikolsky's adder ) and the turtle subspecies " Testudo graeca nikolskii " ( Nikolsky's tortoise ) are named in his honor.
• The tortoise also finds its way into science, as its species, " Testudo whitei " ( Bennett 1836 ), long thought to be a synonym of " Testudo graeca ", has been rediscovered in Algeria.
• In comparison, the Tunisian tortoise has a maximum weight of 0.7 kg ( 1.5 lb ) . " Testudo graeca " is also closely related to the marginated tortoise ( " Testudo marginata " ).
• Evidence in favor of this is the wide geographical region and the extremely large number of subspecies of " Testudo graeca ", including a subspecies in Turkey with strongly bent carapace tiles, like the marginated tortoise . " Testudo marginata " on the other hand, despite the two subspecies, presents a much more unified appearance, which points toward an earlier appearance in evolutionary history.
• Here one can encounter very dryness resistant ( xerophylic ) relatives of woody plants like Pallass's buckthorn ( " Rhamnus pallassii " ), white-hair cherry ( " Cerasus incana " ), dragon-head sage ( " Salvia dracocephaloides " ) etc ., as well as relatively large animals which need reliable permanent shelters such as fox, Mediterranean tortoise ( " Testudo graeca rmeniaca " ), blunt nosed viper ( " Macrovipera lebetina obtusa " ), golden grass skink ( " Trachylepis septemlineatus transcaucasicus " ), Caucasian agama ( " Laudakia caucasia " ), etc . Many of organisms inhabiting rocky outcrops critically need rock cover for protection from predators, incubation and hibernation.
