In situ hybridization with probe specific for the (TTAGGG)n telomeric motif in Chelodina expansa (a,b), Chelodina mccordi (c,d), Chelodina novaeguineae (e,f), Chelodina reimanni (g), Chelodina rugosa (h), Elseya novaeguineae (i,j), Emydura macquarii krefftii (k,l), and the hybrid Em. subglobosa × El. novaeguineae (m). The FITC signal was pseudocolourized in red. All metaphases were counterstained with DAPI (blue). The Y chromosome is indicated with a white arrow.
