Conservation phylogenetics of the Asian box turtles (Geoemydidae, Cuora): mitochondrial introgression, numts, and inferences from multiple nuclear loci (2007, background): “…trifasciata sell for up to $1,000 USD per kilogram due to the scientifically unverified, but widely believed medicinal qualities of its shell, and as this species has become less common, collection pressure on other species has increased (Lau and Haitao 2000; Lau et al. 2000; Parham et al. 2001).”
DEVELOPING A PROTOCOL FOR THE CONVERSION OF RANK-BASED TAXON NAMES TO PHYLOGENETICALLY DEFINED CLADE NAMES, AS EXEMPLIFIED BY TURTLES (2004, methodology): “This list is updated from Iverson (1992) by reference to Yasukawa et al. (1992), Fritz et al. (1997), Parham et al. (2001), Stuart and Parham (in press), and Spinks et al. (in press).”
Recent hybrid origin of three rare Chinese turtles (2006, background): “Specimens matching one of these hybrids, “M. iversoni,” have been found in Chinese turtle farms where the parental species M. mutica and C. trifasciata are housed together, and where farm operators acknowledge producing and selling the hybrids (Parham and Shi 2001; Parham et al. 2001).”
Evidence for the massive scale of turtle farming in China (2008, background): “Issues such as the replenishment of breeding stock from the wild (true farming vs ranching), the impact on the availability of and demand for turtle products, the increased use of non-native species, and the likelihood of genetic pollution (Parham & Shi, 2001; Parham et al., 2001) all diminish the e”
A large phylogeny of turtles (Testudines) using molecular data (2012, background): “We did not include taxa for which there was evidence for a hybrid origin, such as Mauremys iversoni, Mauremys pritchardi, Ocadia glyphistoma, Ocadia philippeni and Sacalia pseudocellata (Parham et al., 2001; Wink et al., 2001; Spinks et al., 2004; Stuart and Parham, 2007).”
Hybridisation on coral reefs and the conservation of evolutionary novelty (2015, background): “2 and towards the protection of populations that represent distinct evolutionary lineages (Stuart and Parham, 2007; Parham et al., 2001; Stuart and Thorbjarnarson, 2003; Parham et al., 2004).”
Trade in live reptiles, its impact on wild populations, and the role of the European market (2016, background): “Resultant confusion included the establishment of pointless captive breeding programs for human-produced hybrids, wasted field efforts, and a general drain on conservation energies (Parham et al., 2001; Stuart and Parham, 2007).”
