The freshwater roofed turtles of Genus Pangshura

The book entitled “The freshwater roofed turtles of Genus Pangshura” has been prepared as a part of Turtle Conservation genetics Research efforts in India. The genus Pangshura belongs to the family Geoemydidae and includes highly endangered South and South-east Asian turtle species. It contains 4 species namely Pangshura tecta, Pangshura sylhetensis, Pangshura smithii and Pangshura tentoria. The work presented in this book might have a lot of implication for biodiversity documentation and could be used to clarify taxonomic uncertainties of certain Pangshura species. The book addresses the gaps in our understanding of the biogeography of Pangshura in Indian subcontinent. Conservation genetics data presented in this book will be helpful to design effective management plan in future.
