The concentration of ionised calcium was measured in the plasma of 13 Hermann's tortoises (Testudo hermanni boettgeri), nine spur-thighed tortoises (Testudo graeca ibera), two marginated tortoises (Testudo marginata) and six Horsfield's tortoises (Testudo horsfieldi) maintained under natural unfiltered sunlight in the UK. The numbers were too small to analyse the differences between the species, sexes or the time of the year statistically, but the concentrations of ionised calcium were generally higher in all the tortoises in the samples taken in August than in the samples taken in March and June.
在英国自然未过滤阳光下饲养的13只赫尔曼陆龟（Testudo hermanni boettgeri）、9只 spur-thighed陆龟（Testudo graeca ibera）、2只缘翘陆龟（Testudo marginata）和6只印度星龟（Testudo horsfieldi）的血浆中测量了离子钙浓度。样本数量太少，无法从统计学上分析物种、性别或一年中不同时间之间的差异，但8月份采集的所有陆龟样本中的离子钙浓度普遍高于3月和6月采集的样本。
