    Abstract:

    This study evaluates the ecological risks associated with non-native Testudinata species in Chinese markets and develops science-based management strategies. Utilizing comprehensive literature review and quantitative data analysis, we investigated the historical introduction patterns, taxonomic diversity, geographical distribution, and commercial trade dynamics of non-native Testudinata species in China. Ecological risk assessment was conducted to analyze their potential impacts on native species and ecosystems. The results revealed that while China hosts 40 native Testudinata species (belonging to 6 families and 22 genera), non-native species dominate the market, accounting for 75% of traded individuals (three times the proportion of native species), with the highest concentrations in South and East China. The invasion of non-native species has led to habitat compression for native Testudinata, intensified farming practices, and increased risks of biological invasions and disease transmission. This study highlights the substantial market scale and ecological threats posed by non-native Testudinata species in China, emphasizing the need for a differentiated management framework. The findings provide critical insights for establishing regulations on Testudinata introductions, optimizing invasive species control strategies, and promoting sustainable development of the Testudinata industry.
