Few studies document early growth of hatchling turtles. We fit growth models to 606
carapace length (CL) measurements of ornate box turtles (Terrapene ornata ornata) for 231 …

Growth of box turtles (Terrapene c. carolina) in a bottomland forest in Maryland was studied
over a period of years (1944-1981). A bivariate analysis of age related growth showed that …

For many turtle species, life history traits such as body size, age at maturity, and somatic
growth rate can vary among individuals and habitats and between the sexes. Therefore, it is …

Twelve young green turtles (Chelonia mydas L.) varied considerably in growth rate when fed
satiation rations (mean specific growth rate ranged from 0.01045-0.0 l462), but individual …

Despite a deluge of publications on growth in immature captive green turtles, particularly
hatchlings (eg, Harrisson, 1955; Caldwell, 1962; Lebeau and Lebrun, 1976; Garnett, 1980) …

Using mark-recapture data collected from 1978 to 1997, we examined growth rates, adult
body size, and age and size at sexual maturity of spotted turtles (Clemmys guttata) in a …

Growth rates recorded between 1995 and 2001 for green turtles in the central Gulf of
California were analyzed using nonparametric regression modeling. A mixed longitudinal …

We investigated year-to-year variation in intra-populational growth rates for two populations
of the red-eared turtle, Trachemys scripta elegans. We propose a method to determine the …

Nest counts from the largest subpopulation of the loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) in
the Atlantic, peninsular Florida, have been declining since 1998. Analyzing trends of nests …
