The two small footprints with parallel digits and drag marks suggest they were made by tetrapods moving through water. While there are similarities to crocodylian and pterosaur tracks, the evaluation suggests that turtles are the most likely trace-makers. If correct, the Yaopo Formation footprints are likely made by xinjiangchelyids, given their dominance in Asian freshwater ecosystems during the Late Jurassic and their widespread distribution in Late Jurassic China. Sichuanchelyids, Bashuchelyidae, and Hongkongochelys are less likely candidates due to their limited temporal and geographical distribution. This finding adds to the growing body of evidence on the evolution and ecology of turtles in Asia during the Late Jurassic period. These new findings offer important insights into the behaviour and spatiotemporal occurrence of these ancient reptiles and expand our understanding of their role in prehistoric aquatic ecosystems.},

The red-eared slider turtle (RES) has been disparaged as one of the worst invasive species. Based on this review, we suggest that RES contribute some ecosystem functions in urban wetlands comparable to those provided by the native turtles they sometimes dominate or replace. While we do not advocate for releases outside their native range, or into natural environments, in this review, we examine the case for the RES to be considered potentially beneficial in heavily human-altered and degraded ecosystems where native turtles struggle or fail to persist. After reviewing the ecosystem functions RESs are known to provide, we conclude that in many modified environments the RES is a partial ecological analog to native turtles and removing them may obviate the ecological benefits they provide. We also suggest research avenues to better understand the role of RESs in heavily modified wetlands.},

The description is based on a sample of the best-preserved specimens. The new species differs from other Annemys spp. by a combination of cranial and shell characters. The basisphenoids (about 200 specimens) of A. variabilis demonstrate variation in 12 characters, some of which are reported in turtles for the first time. About 20 shell characters of A. variabilis are subject to ontogenetic or interindividual variation. Some of these characters are variable in other Annemys spp. and other xinjiangchelyids. The formula of the cervical vertebrae [(2(3()4()5()6()7()8) or (2(3()4()5()6()7()8(] with two opisthocoelous vertebrae (2 and 3), four or five amphicoelous vertebrae (4-7 or 4-8), and one procoelous vertebra is unique for this species among xinjiangchelyids, which were previously known to have only amphicoelous cervicals. Other characters of the non-shell postcranium correspond to those of other xinjiangchelyids. Of the three phylogenetic analyses performed in this study, Analysis 1 does not support the monophyly of either Xinjiangchelyidae or Annemys, Analysis 2 shows paraphyly of Xinjiangchelyidae and monophyly of the Annemys clade (A. latiens, A. levensis, A. variabilis and A. wusu), and Analysis 3 supports monophyly of the Annemys clade with A. latiens, A. levensis and A. variabilis, only in the majority rule consensus tree. The diversity of the turtle assemblage of the Itat Formation is re-assessed as containing 2-3 taxa (A. variabilis [=Testudines indet. 2], Testudines indet. 1 and 3), which is in agreement with similar diversities seen in some other Middle Jurassic Asian turtle assemblages. The known record of Annemys spp. is restricted to the northern part of Asia.https://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:E836F02F-21DD-4A36-ACBB-4170A6CD46AD},

Comparisons with other similarly-aged terrestrial faunas such as Shaximiao and Yanliao show both taxonomic similarities and differences between these faunas and indicate that the Junggar deposits might have preserved the most complete vertebrate fossil record for a Middle-Late Jurassic Laurasian terrestrial fauna.},

Representatives of Epicaridea (ingroup of Cymothoida) are parasitic on crustaceans and usually go through three distinct larval stages. The fossil record of Epicaridea is sparse and thus little is known about the palaeoecology and the origin of the complex life cycle of modern epicarideans. We present an assemblage of over 100 epicarideans preserved in a single piece of Late Cretaceous Myanmar amber. All individuals are morphologically similar to cryptoniscium stage larvae. The cryptoniscium stage usually constitutes the third and last larval stage. In modern representatives of Epicaridea, the cryptoniscium larvae are planktic and search for suitable host animals or adult females. These fossil specimens, though similar to some extant species, differ from other fossil epicaridean larvae in many aspects. Thus, a new species (and a new genus), Cryptolacruma nidis, is erected. Several factors can favour the preservation of multiple conspecific animals in a single piece of amber. However, the enormous density of epicarideans in the herein presented amber piece can only be explained by circumstances that result in high local densities of individuals, close to the resin-producing tree.},

	abstract = {Hudiesaurus sinojapanorum is a Late Jurassic sauropod from northwestern China that was erected on the basis of a cervicodorsal vertebra, four teeth, and a nearly complete forelimb. However, re-evaluation of this material, and comparisons with other taxa, indicate that there are few grounds for regarding these specimens as congeneric. Consequently, although we retain the vertebra as the holotype specimen of Hudiesaurus, the forelimb is assigned to a new taxon-Rhomaleopakhus turpanensis, gen. et sp. nov. The teeth previously referred to Hudiesaurus are poorly preserved but resemble those of several other 'core Mamenchisaurus-like taxa' (CMTs) from East Asia, such as Mamenchisaurus sinocanadorum. Phylogenetic analyses confirm that Hudiesaurus is a CMT and the sister taxon of Xinjiangtitan. Despite some uniquely shared features, their large size, and close geographic provenance, Hudiesaurus and Xinjiangtitan are retained as distinct genera based on their stratigraphic separation and numerous anatomical differences. Rhomaleopakhus is also shown to be a CMT in all analyses, being most closely related to Chuanjiesaurus and Analong. We link the convergent evolution of robust antebrachia and an enlarged olecranon in CMTs, titanosaurs, and some ornithischians (e.g., ceratopsids) to a more flexed orientation of the forearm, an enhanced role for the forelimb in locomotion, and an anterior shift in the whole-body center of mass. CMTs and titanosaurs potentially converged on a feeding strategy in which the ability to increase browse height via bipedal rearing was sacrificed in return for more efficient locomotion that improved travel between patchily distributed food sources.},

	abstract = {A complete description of the xinjiangchelyid turtles Annemys levensis and A. latiens is provided, based on all available material from the Upper Jurassic type locality of Shar Teg, Mongolia. Annemys latiens was previously known almost exclusively from shell material, but an undescribed skull from Shar Teg is referable to this species and its distinct morphology confirms the presence of two taxa at this locality. Annemys latiens has an elongated skull that markedly differs in proportions from those of A. levensis and resembles the shape of some recent, piscivorous turtles. The overall similarity of the shells of the two Annemys species combined with significant differences in the skull indicate that these turtles probably partitioned the aquatic niche by exploring different feeding strategies. Among xinjiangchelyids, at least three different skull morphotypes can be differentiated, which implies a moderate level of ecological diversification among Late Jurassic Asian turtles. Phylogenetic analysis weakly supports the inclusion of Annemys spp. into Xinjiangchelyidae and places xinjiangchelyids at the stem of Testudines, but the latter result is considered tentative. Phylogenetic definitions of Xinjiangchelyidae, Sinemydidae, and Macrobaenidae are provided for nomenclatural clarity and precision.

	abstract = {Background: Most turtles from the Middle and Late Jurassic of Asia are referred to the newly defined clade Xinjiangchelyidae, a group of mostly shell-based, generalized, small to mid-sized aquatic froms that are widely considered to represent the stem lineage of Cryptodira. Xinjiangchelyids provide us with great insights into the plesiomorphic anatomy of crown-cryptodires, the most diverse group of living turtles, and they are particularly relevant for understanding the origin and early divergence of the primary clades of extant turtles. Results: Exceptionally complete new xinjiangchelyid material from the ?Qigu Formation of the Turpan Basin (Xinjiang Autonomous Province, China) provides new insights into the anatomy of this group and is assigned to Xinjiangchelys wusu n. sp. A phylogenetic analysis places Xinjiangchelys wusu n. sp. in a monophyletic polytomy with other xinjiangchelyids, including Xinjiangchelys junggarensis, X. radiplicatoides, X. levensis and X. latiens. However, the analysis supports the unorthodox, though tentative placement of xinjiangchelyids and sinemydids outside of crown-group Testudines. A particularly interesting new observation is that the skull of this xinjiangchelyid retains such primitive features as a reduced interpterygoid vacuity and basipterygoid processes. Conclusions: The homology of basipterygoid processes is confidently demonstrated based on a comprehensive review of the basicranial anatomy of Mesozoic turtles and a new nomenclatural system is introduced for the carotid canal system of turtles. The loss of the basipterygoid process and the bony enclosure of the carotid circulation system occurred a number of times independently during turtle evolution suggesting that the reinforcement of the basicranial region was essential for developing a rigid skull, thus paralleling the evolution of other amniote groups with massive skulls. © 2013 Rabi et al.; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.},
