Background and Research Aims Dams impact freshwater ecosystems and biodiversity.
Freshwater turtles are at direct and indirect risk due to changes caused by damming …

Riverine fishes are sensitive to human-induced changes to their ecosystems and have
experienced substantial declines in the past century. The presence and operation of dams …

The nesting ecology of Apalone spinifera in large North American rivers is largely unknown
despite the wide distribution of the species in these naturally dynamic ecosystems. We …

Turtle populations are imperiled worldwide, but limited ecological information from unaltered
systems hampers science‐based management and conservation of some species …

To conserve or restore riverine turtles, managers need baseline information on
subpopulation structure and abundance in multiple rivers across large geographic areas …

The Lake Champlain population of Spiny Softshell Turtle (Apalone spinifera) is isolated at
the northeastern end of the range of the species in North America. Due to a lack of suitable …

Home range size, movement patterns, and site fidelity of wood turtles (Glyptemys insculpta)
were compared between a suburban population in Black Hawk County (BH) and a rural …

We observed overwintering behavior of bimodally respiring hatchling Smooth Softshell
Turtles, Apalone mutica, in two small outdoor ponds that differed in depth. Hatchlings buried …

We observed the behavior of overwintering Smooth Softshell Turtles, Apalone mutica, in an
outdoor simulated pond with remote cameras. Submerged overwintering turtles partially …
