El comercio de quelonios acuáticos como animales de compañía y su eventual liberación o escape ha conllevado la detección de especies exóticas naturalizadas o formando poblaciones invasoras en ecosistemas acuáticos. La importación de Mauremys spp. exóticos implica una nueva amenaza para la conservación de los ecosistemas acuáticos, debido a su capacidad de hibridarse con la especie nativa Mauremys leprosa. En este trabajo se documentan 16 nuevos registros de ejemplares asilvestrados de los galápagos asiáticos Mauremys reevesii y Mauremys sinensis en Andalucía (sur de España). La mayor parte de ellos (13) corresponden a ambientes acuáticos artificiales asociados a áreas urbanas y el resto se encontraron en espacios naturales protegidos con poblaciones naturales de M. leprosa. Estas nuevas citas ponen de manifiesto que los nuevos taxones comercializados reproducen el patrón de venta-abandono-naturalización-invasión ya acaecido con otras especies exóticas de galápagos. El número de ejemplares de Mauremys exóticos importados en España (más de 100.000 desde 2006) sugiere que el número real de ejemplares asilvestrados podría ser bastante mayor al documentado en los trabajos publicados.

New Habitats

The present work describes the presence of a digenean in the red-eared turtle Trachemys scripta elegans (Wied-Neuwied, 1839) in marshes of the Valencian Community. The faeces and intestinal tract of 105 animals were examined. Only one helminth species was found and identified as the digenean trematode Telorchis atenuatta (Goldberger, 1911), present in the 7.6% of the animals analysed. This is the first report of the parasite in sliders from Spain. Although conclusions are preliminary due to the limited sampling, our results suggest that the presence of red-eared turtles in new habitats may increase the risk of introducing new microorganisms and new diseases with them, altering the sanitary status of the autochthonous terrapins Mauremys leprosa (Schweigger, 1812) and Emys orbicularis (Linnaeus, 1758).

Fragmented Population

AbstractPlacobdella costata is a leech specific to freshwater turtle Emys orbicularis. Both genera are native to North America and have co-evolved and undergone dispersion through the Palearctic. The leech is present throughout the Mediterranean area, always associated with E. orbicularis. Their only known presence in the Iberian Peninsula is in the north and center of the peninsula. Here we present the first description of the leech in southern Spain (Andalusia) in association with a small fragmented population of fresh-water turtles in which E. orbicularis and Mauremys leprosa coexist. Unusually, the leech was found attached to the carapace of a male M. leprosa.

Living Species

Abstract The late Pliocene locality Camp dels Ninots is a fossil Lagerstätte that yielded an exceptionally well preserved vertebrate fauna. Several turtles were reported from this locality and were all assigned to the living species Mauremys leprosa. We describe here a second turtle taxon based on carapace material. This new taxon is identified as Chelydropsis cf. pontica. It is the first report of a chelydrid turtle in the Pliocene of the Iberian peninsula. This discovery extends the range of the species to the southwest of Europe and thereby better documents the space and time distribution of snapping turtles before their supposedly rapid disappearance in Europe.
