Simple shell measurements do not consistently predict habitat in turtles: a reply to Lichtig and Lucas (2017) by Evers, Serjoscha W., Foth, Christian, Joyce, Walter G., Hermanson, Guilherme

“…One recently described method proposes that simple shell measurements that effectively quantify shell doming and plastron width can differentiate habitat classes among extant turtles in linear discriminant analysis, whereby aquatic turtles have low domed shells with narrow plastra. The respective study proposes unorthodox habitat predictions for key fossil turtles, including aquatic lifestyles for the early turtle Proganochelys quenstedtii and the meiolaniform Meiolania platyceps, and terrestrial habits for the early turtle Proterochersis robusta. …”
