This is short description of the work and mailing list for publications from the massive TFTSG-organized and CRF-produced Chelonian Research Monographs project on Conservation Biology of Freshwater Turtles and Tortoises (CBFTT).
We have greatly expanded the mailing list to include not only authors and original subscribers, but also a wider audience of international turtle researchers and conservationists and leading conservation professionals from other disciplines, thereby reaching out to as wide and important a global audience as possible. If you have recently been added to this list, welcome, and feel free to explore and download all previous offerings in the series.
If your email address has recently changed or is about to change, please notify us at [email protected] so that we can keep you current. Chasing down and correcting bounced emails takes a lot of work and time. Thanks.
As each new turtle species account in the CBFTT project is published online, we will send a pdf of the open-access article to everyone on this mailing list. If you do not wish to receive these mailings from us, please let us know; or if you have colleagues who wish to sign up, please have them contact us at [email protected] to be placed on the mailing list. Feel free to forward this email and its attachment to other colleagues as you see fit.
We published this CBFTT account online two days ago, on 26 January 2015, as an open-access publication at:
http://www.iucn-tftsg.org/terrapene-carolina-085/
Since initiating publication of the CBFTT project in 2008, and counting this account, we have now published a total of 85 accounts, covering 112 recognized turtle and tortoise taxa from 112nations, plus 6 checklists, with contributions by 151 authors and 156 photographers, covering 1163 total pages of text.
This article and all other previously published accounts in the CBFTT monograph project may also be downloaded by following the appropriate links from: http://www.iucn-tftsg.org/cbftt/
We also produce high-resolution printed hardcopies of this and all other CBFTT accounts published online; these are available for purchase at http://www.chelonian.org/crm-no-5/.
Please also check out our other offerings in the Chelonian Research Monographs series at: http://www.chelonian.org/crm/
including CRM 6, published in late 2013:
Turtles on the Brink in Madagascar: Proceedings of Two Workshops on the Status, Conservation, and Biology of Malagasy Tortoises and Freshwater Turtles. 2013. Edited by Christina M. Castellano, Anders G.J. Rhodin, Michael Ogle, Russell A. Mittermeier, Herilala Randriamahazo, Rick Hudson, and Richard E. Lewis.
In addition, Chelonian Research Foundation has also published the frequently cited 2011 compilation of the Top 25 Most Endangered Turtles in the World, available for download athttp://www.iucn-tftsg.org/trouble/ :
Turtle Conservation Coalition [Rhodin, A.G.J., Walde, A.D., Horne, B.D., van Dijk, P.P., Blanck, T., and Hudson, R. (Eds.)]. 2011. Turtles in Trouble: The World’s 25+ Most Endangered Tortoises and Freshwater Turtles—2011. Lunenburg, MA: IUCN/SSC Tortoise and Freshwater Turtle Specialist Group, Turtle Conservation Fund, Turtle Survival Alliance, Turtle Conservancy, Chelonian Research Foundation, Conservation International, Wildlife Conservation Society, and San Diego Zoo Global, 54 pp.
In addition to the IUCN/SSC Tortoise and Freshwater Turtle Specialist Group and Chelonian Research Foundation, the CBFTT monograph project has also benefited from welcome support from the Turtle Conservation Fund, Conservation International, the Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund, the Frankel Family Foundation, and the IUCN and itsSpecies Survival Commission. We thank them all for their generosity and help.
We also work very closely with and help support the Turtle Conservancy and the Turtle Survival Alliance, and strongly encourage our readers to visit their websites and to consider supporting these important organizations and their critically-needed global efforts to help conserve the world's turtles--the most endangered large group of vertebrates on earth.
Turtles need all the help they can get. By working together, we can achieve their successful survival.
Thank you for your interest,
