globally, especially regarding species that previously have received relatively little attention. New research has been aided by the use of traditional and cutting-edge techniques, from the use of tracking dogs to drones and eDNA. The development of well-supported
turtle phylogenies makes interspecific comparisons particularly appealing. </span>

This Special Issue provides a venue to highlight relatively novel and robust analyses and experiments involving turtles—understudied species, interspecific comparisons, new or neglected techniques. Each manuscript should have clear conservation implications.
