Long-term studies on wildlife populations are necessary to track population abundance and
shifts in demography over time, yet such studies are difficult to plan, fund, and conduct and …

Background Imperfect detection of hard‐to‐sample organisms has motivated the
development of novel monitoring techniques. Environmental DNA (eDNA) can provide a …

Freshwater turtles comprise 81% of all chelonian species despite freshwater systems only
occupying 1% of the earth's surface, and they are commonly exploited as pets and food …

Context Understanding the effects that learned responses to being captured have on
subsequent recapture rates and associated abundance estimates is important for …

New and innovative techniques utilizing underwater cameras have the potential to track
changes in turtle populations whilst being less invasive and time intensive than traditional …

Turtles are particularly susceptible to the negative impacts of urbanization due to low
mobility and a life history strategy emphasizing long generation times and high adult …

Methods used in wildlife ecology can influence population‐and community‐level estimates,
such as species richness, sex ratio, age and size structure, occupancy and detection …

The aim of this study was to provide a baseline assessment of the turtle community in the
coastal wetlands of the Greater Toronto Area. We documented turtle species diversity …

We investigated the influence of hoop-net trap size on number and size of captures for
comparatively large (Chelydra serpentina [Snapping Turtle]) and small (Chrysemys picta …

The extreme longevity of turtles and tortoises can make it difficult to determine the
conservation status of their populations because high annual adult survival may mask …
