The study assesses the prevalence of Mycoplasmopsis agassizii in wild and captive Mediterranean tortoises, finding higher infection rates in captive populations and species-specific patterns in wild ones.

The paper examines how interactions between six anthropogenic threats affect functional and phylogenetic diversity in Testudines and Crocodilia, finding synergistic effects when diseases or invasive species interact with other threats.

The paper produces a chromosome-level genome assembly for Testudo graeca using a reference-guided approach with Gopherus evgoodei, revealing population history insights.
