Topic: Emydidae


In the News (Fri 21 Nov 08)

  
  ADW: Emydidae: Information
Emydidae is the largest and most diverse turtle family.
The Emydidae are most closely related to the tortoises (Testudinidae) and are included along with that family in the Testudinoidea.
In this configuration, the Batagurids are placed in closer association with the Testudinidae in a group called the Testudinoidae, which excludes the Emydidae.

Emydidae is a valid family that contains the new world pond turtles and of course the nominate form the european pond turtle(Emys).
The Asian pond turtles are a separate and valid family, however, the current name (see David 1994) is Geoemydidae by priority of the genus Geoemyda (Gray 1834)over Batagur (Gray 1855).

The family Emydidae is comprised of 10 genera and 35 species (Pough et al.
They are mainly distributed throughout much of North America, with the exception of one genus found in South America and a second genus found in parts of Africa, Asia and Europe.
The Emydidae species in Idaho Chrysemys picta (Painted Turtle) is largely aquatic (Stebbins, 1985), however, this family also has terrestrial representatives such as the genus Terrapene or Box Turtles (Pough et al.

Emydine turtles (sister to Deirochelyinae within Emydidae) are represented by ten extant species, nine of which are restricted to North America.
This charismatic and ecologically diverse group of turtles is relatively well studied (as turtles go) and is familiar to both amateur and professional chelonologists.

However, the independent support for the Testudinoidea by both the morphological and molecular data sets strengthens the interpretation of the monophyly of this group.
The Testudinoidea contains two well supported groups: a restricted Emydidae (sensu Gaffney, 1975), and the currently unnamed group that includes the Bataguridae and Testudinidae for which Shaffer et al.

Two TSD patterns have been discovered in turtles.
Pattern I, found in some Bataguridae, and the Carettochelyidae, Cheloniidae, Dermochelyidae, Emydidae, and Testudinidae, has a single transition zone of temperature below which incubation yields nearly or totally 100% males and above which only females are produced.
Pattern I occurs chiefly in turtles in which the adult females are larger than adult males; Pattern II is found mainly in turtles with females smaller than males or in which body size is not dimorphic.

Be sure to provide places where your turtle can escape the heat - under plantings, in hay or leaves, or under logs.
Box turtles are in the same family (Emydidae) as water turtles such as sliders, map turtles, and cooters, and although not fully aquatic, do enjoy an occasional swim.
A shallow pond, perhaps half as deep as the turtle's carapace is high, should be sunk into the ground and kept filled with fresh water.
