The Jackson ratio is calculated by taking the weight of the tortoise in grams and dividing it by the cube of the length of the tortoise's carapace in centimeters. [1] This is essentially a value of the density of the tortoise in g/cm 3. The optimal value for this ratio is 0.21 with a range of 0.18–0.22 being acceptable for hibernation.
The testudo was a common formation in the Middle Ages, being used by Muhammad's forces during the Siege of Ta'if in 630, [4] also by the Carolingian Frankish soldiers of Louis the Pious to advance on the walls of Barcelona during the siege of 800–801, by Vikings during the siege of Paris in 885–886, by East Frankish soldiers under king ...
Doyère based his description off specimens collected in Paris. [1] The neotype designated by Gąsiorek and colleagues was collected in Paris's Montmartre Cemetery . [ 7 ] The type localities of the junior synonyms E. bellermanni and E. inermis are both in Germany: the former is Greifswald , [ 2 ] and the latter is the Taunus mountains near ...

In revision 1.2, released in 2013, a new "Reduced Blanking Timing Version 2" mode was added which further reduces the horizontal blanking interval from 160 to 80 pixels, increases pixel clock precision from ±0.25 MHz to ±0.001 MHz, and adds the option for a 1000/1001 modifier for ATSC/NTSC video-optimized timing modes (e.g. 59.94 Hz instead ...
Sequence evolution at least in mtDNA is known to proceed much more slowly in some turtles and tortoises than in others; [5] the rate of the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene in Testudo is probably a rather low 1.0–1.6% per million years (as this fits best the paleobiogeographical situation), limiting the resolution provided by molecular systematics.

Testudo hellenica is an extinct genus of tortoise of the genus Testudo from the Miocene Nea Messimvria Formation (Zone MN 10) of Greece. [1] T. hellenica is the earliest known crown-Testudo from Greece (according to Garcia et al., 2020), since the next oldest Testudo species, T. marmorum, from Greece come from the Turolian (7.3-7.2 ma) Pikermi beds.
