Chelonian Research Monographs

CHELONIAN RESEARCH MONOGRAPHS (ISSN 1088-7105) is an international peer-reviewed scientific publication series for monograph-length manuscripts, collected proceedings of symposia, edited compilations, and other longer turtle-related research documents. The series accepts contributions dealing with any aspects of chelonian research, with a preference for conservation or biology. The series is founded and edited by Anders G.J. Rhodin, joined later by Peter Paul van Dijk and John B. Iverson, as well as various other individual editors for separate monographs, and has been published on an occasional basis since 1996 by Chelonian Research Foundation and since 2017 in co-publishing partnership with Turtle Conservancy.
