Sternotherus depressus
Tinkle and Webb, 1955
ster-noh-THER-us — dee-PRES-us
SSAR 9th Edition Comments:
Scott and Rissler (2015, Biological Conservation 192: 294–303) reported a decline in the historical range of S. depressus and unidirectional mtDNA introgression from S. peltifer. Turtle Taxonomy Working Group (2021, Chelonian Research Monographs (8): 1–472) noted that this hybridization is changing the morphology of S. depressus and threatens its continued distinction.
