    Abstract
    As part of a comprehensive strategy to highlight and help prioritize urgently needed conservation action for the most critically endangered turtles and tortoises in the world, the Turtle Conservation Coalition have highlighted the Top 25 most endangered species every four years since 2003. In this third installment, more than 25 species are covered and the information presented was provided by the coalition rather than solely by one or two organizations. In general, this document includes all terrestrial and freshwater turtles and tortoises currently ranked as Extinct in the Wild or Critically Endangered on the current 2010 IUCN Red List, or provisionally so, based on recent draft assessments by the TFTSG (Turtle Taxonomy Working Group 2010) carried out in a series of turtle-focused IUCN Red Listing workshops held around the world. In addition, included on this list are a few species at lesser Red List categories that are also considered to be at a high risk of extinction.

      Conservation Of amphibians And reptiles In The Bahamas

      Buckner, Sandra D.; Knapp, Charles R.; Cant, Shelley V.; Iverson, John B.; Horrocks, Julia; Wilson, Byron; Hailey, Adrian (Brill, 2011)
      ...The native herpetofauna of The Bahamas is derived primarily from Cuba and Hispaniola, and numbers 46 species comprised of three frogs (including one endemic),25 lizards (13 endemic), 11 snakes (7 endemic), two freshwater turtles, and five sea turtles. Of thenative terrestrial species, 85% are either not assessed or data deficient to affirm IUCN listing, thusstressing the need for more research in The Bahamas. Currently, there are few legislative laws directly protecting the herpetofauna of The Bahamas although all three rock iguanas (Cyclura) are technically given full protection under the Wild Animals (Protection) Act of 1968.....

      Chelonian perivitelline membrane-bound sperm detection: A new breeding management tool

      Croyle, Kaitlin E.; Gibbons, Paul; Light, Christine; Goode, Eric; Durrant, Barbara S.; Jensen, Thomas (2016)
      Perivitelline membrane (PVM)-bound sperm detection has recently been incorporated into avian breeding programs to assess egg fertility, confirm successful copulation, and to evaluate male reproductive status and pair compatibility. Due to the similarities between avian and chelonian egg structure and development, and because fertility determination in chelonian eggs lacking embryonic growth is equally challenging, PVM-bound sperm detection may also be a promising tool for the reproductive management of turtles and tortoises....

      The conservation status of the world’s reptiles

      Böhm, Monika; Collen, Ben; Baillie, Jonathan E.M.; Bowles, Philip; Chanson, Janice; Cox, Neil; Hammerson, Geoffrey; Hoffmann, Michael; Livingstone, Suzanne R.; Ram, Mala; et al. (2013)
      …We present the first ever global analysis of extinction risk in reptiles, based on a random representative sample of 1500 species (16% of all currently known species). To our knowledge, our results provide the first analysis of the global conservation status and distribution patterns of reptiles and the threats affecting them, highlighting conservation priorities and knowledge gaps which need to be addressed urgently to ensure the continued survival of the world’s reptiles….
