| Abstract |
|
Electrophoresis of turtle serums in cellulose acetate generally produced like patterns for each species, but intraspecific variations usually involved the more cathodal rather than anodal lines. Organisms electrophoretically alike include Chelydra s. serpentina and C. s. osceola; Staurotypus triporcatus and S. salvini; Kinosternon s. subrubrum, K. s. hippocrepis and K. s. steindachneri; K. b. bauri and K. b. palmarum. Electrophoretic patterns of Claudius and Staurotypus are similar to other kinosternids. Anodal electrophoretic components may be used to group K. bauri with K. subrubrum and K. cruentatum with K. leucostomum and K. scorpioides. K. flavescens appears to belong with the former group and K. hirtipes, K. sonoriense and Staurotypus with the latter. Dermatemys has some electrophoretic similarity to Staurotypus. Electrophoresis as well as turbidimetric analysis of antigen-antibody precipitates indicate a close chelydrid-emydid relationship. Precipitation studies separated New World from Old World emydids, chelydrids being closer to the former and kinosternids to the latter. Platysternon is relatively distant from kinosternids and closer to certain New World emydids (and Testudo) than to Chelydra. Testudinidae Emydidae
