20 questions
Question 1: J.P. Bonnaterre authored 'Tableau Encyclopédique et Méthodique des Trois Règnes de la Nature. Erpétologie'.
A. Ano
B. Ne
Explanation: The study materials state: "b onna T e RR e, J. p . (1789): Tableau Encyclopédique et Méthodique des Trois Règnes de la Nature. Erpétologie. – Panckoucke Lib., Paris."
Question 2: According to the study materials, which researchers conducted an osteological comparison of Graptemys caglei and Graptemys versa, publishing their findings in 1983?
A. J. Bertl and F.C. Killebrew
B. J.W. Bickham and J. L. Carr
C. R.C. Vogt and C.J. McCoy
D. T.L. King and S.E. Julian
Explanation: The study materials list the publication by J. Bertl and F.C. Killebrew (1983) titled 'An osteological comparison of Graptemys caglei Haynes and McKown and Graptemys versa Stejneger (Testudines: Emydidae)'.
Question 3: The provided study materials lack any discussion on the biomechanics and evolution of emydid shell kinesis.
A. Ano
B. Ne
Explanation: The study materials include a reference to 'Bramble, D. m . (1974): Emydid shell kinesis: Biomechanics and evolution. – Copeia, 1974 : 707 – 727.', which directly discusses this topic.
Question 4: According to the provided study materials, which statements about turtle taxonomy and distribution are accurate?
A. The genus Trachemys includes the species Trachemys scripta (Schoepff, 1792), detailed in the Handbuch der Reptilien und Amphibien Europas.
B. Terrapene nelsoni Stejneger 1925 is known as the Spotted Box Turtle and includes the subspecies T. n. nelsoni and T. n. klauberi.
C. Pseudemys scripta is a slider turtle with a new subspecies described from Coahuila, Mexico.
D. The Western Pond Turtle, Actinemys marmorata (Baird and Girard 1852), is also known as the Pacific Pond Turtle and its conservation biology is compiled in Chelonian Research Monographs 5.
Explanation: All options are accurate based on the study materials. Option 0 is supported by B R I N G S Ø E (2001a, 2001b). Option 1 is supported by B U S K I R K & P O N C E C A M P O S (2011). Option 2 is supported by L E G L E R (1960) and L E G L E R & W E B B (1970). Option 3 is supported by B U R Y & G E R M A N O (2008).
Question 5: De Queiroz and Gauthier's 1994 work on phylogenetic nomenclature provided a fully established system for naming turtle species.
A. Ano
B. Ne
Explanation: The study materials mention De Queiroz and Gauthier's work on "Phylogenetic taxonomy" (1992) and "Toward a phylogenetic system of biological nomenclature" (1994). However, the materials do not provide details about the content of these papers, nor do they state that the 1994 work fully established a system for naming turtle species, or any specific group of animals. The entries are simply bibliographic references.
