摘要
We registered 98 old and new findings of Emys orbicularis with different degrees of reliability in Latvia in 1984-2017. Nineteen findings of E. orbicularis, proven by the authors or with photographic documentation, are confirmed; ten findings by other biologists are highly probably. We registered both adult males and females, one young juvenile and three semi-adult E. orbicularis in Latvia. Based on our research, we suppose that fragmented populations of E. orbicularis exist in Latvia. Additional genetic research is necessary for identifying if the current E. orbicularis individuals in Latvia are autochthonous. Probably the Latvian populations of E. orbicularis found near the borders with Lithuania, Belarus, and Russia extend in these countries, which demands additional and trans-border research.
