Spatial distributions and movements of aquatic animals are typically defined by the
dimensions of the aquatic system in which they live. Aquatic turtles often confound such …

We investigated the use of aquatic and terrestrial floodplain habitats by lentic and lotic turtles
inhabiting the Missouri River, a contemporary, regulated large river. Specifically, we tested …

Abstract Knowledge of the spatial ecology of many turtle species is lacking or limited by
small sample sizes of study animals, short study periods, or incomplete representation of the …

Lentic (ie, lake) and lotic (ie, river) environments differ in several biotic and abiotic variables
such as water velocity, productivity, thermal regimes, and depth. These variables can …

Our study focuses on the spatial ecology and seasonal habitat use of two aquatic turtles in
order to understand the manner in which upland habitat use by humans shapes the aquatic …

We studied the home ranges and seasonal movements of 20 wood turtles (Clemmys
insculpta) living near the northern limit of their distribution in the Mauricie region, Quebec …

The general paradigm associated with overland movements of semi-aquatic turtles between
aquatic habitats predicts that males move more frequently and for greater distances than …

In order to effectively manage urban habitats, it is important to incorporate the spatial
ecology and habitat use of the species utilizing them. Our previous studies have shown that …

We examined turtle populations occupying eight artificial ponds in Westmoreland County,
southwestern Pennsylvania, USA. Beginning in 2005, we used sardine-baited hoop-nets to …

Riverine turtle species are declining worldwide and many populations have been extirpated
due to anthropogenic impacts. Last officially recorded in Maryland in the early-1990's, the …
