Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-5002-5287 First case of lordosis in a wild- caught European pond turtle (Emys orbicularis) 2020 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted Even though osteological abnormalities are very rare in wild reptiles (Telemaco et al. 2013, Löwenborg & Hagman 2017), they are more frequent in captivity as a consequence of a deficient care, especially related to nutrition and UV deficiencies (Mendyk 2008). In chelonians, in some cases, it is also related to soft shell and pyramidism (Museti et al. 2014). Kyphosis and lordosis are problems related to the vertebral column, namely kyphosis when the column is extruded and lordosis when the column is intruded. There are several cases of both anomalies described in lacertids (Garin-Barrio et al. 2011), skinks (Arrivillaga & Brown 2019) and sea turtles (Drenen 1990). Nevertheless, in freshwater turtles only kyphosis is relatively common (Saumure 2001, Trembath 2009, Moldowan et al. 2015), with few documented lordosis cases (Mitchell 2014; Selman 2019). In wild Emys orbicularis several deformities have been described such as microophtalmia (Escoriza 2012), axanthism (Cavalcante & Bruni 2018), pholydosis abnormalities as accessory scutes (Cordero et al. 2008) or accessory and absent scutes (Lada & Voldireva 2018). Here, we report the first case of lordosis in a European freshwater turtle (Emys orbicularis), being the first reported case of a lordotic wild turtle in Europe. The turtle was captured on the 22th July 2011 in “Río Areta”, which is a Special Area of Conservation (ES2200013), in Navarre (Spain), in a little cattle pond (42º42’N; -1º16’E), where the majority of turtles were juveniles (Table 1), including the lordotic turtle, showing a differential habitat selection among juveniles and adults ... info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 0.969 2020 ZOOLOGY 128 / 175 = 0.731 2020 Q3 T3 0.288 2020 Animal Science and Zoology 2020 Q3 info:eu-repo/semantics/other info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Ayres, C.
