摘要: Mechanisms of shell closure in box turtles the family Emydidae have been analyzed with respect to functional anatomy, evolution and phylogenetic significance. Structural requirements essential turtle morphotype are: 1) plastral kinesis; 2) mechanisms for displacement (accommodation) limb girdles as is closed; 3) additional space forelimbs; 4) musculature effect closure. Girdle accommodation structurally evolutionarily most "difficult" requirement; kinesis least.
