Hello everyone and happy 2024! It's the spring semester of senior year (yippee!) and I'm entering the final stretch before senior comprehensive research will be presented in March. The data for the turtle project has successfully run in R after numerous trials and alterations to the code and it's provided some models and analysis. For my research, I had hypothesized that pleurodiran turtles would share more morphological scaling patterns to trionychids, because both are freshwater specialists and rely on rowing. Since emydid turtles are semi-aquatic, it would be understandable if they shared less morphological similarity to pleurodires because they are adapted to also move on land.
There will be more to come soon with findings on this study - stay tuned! Comments are closed.
