Turtles are a small taxon that has nevertheless attracted much attention from biologists for
centuries. However, a major portion of their life cycle has received relatively little attention …

Terrestrially hibernating reptiles that live in seasonally cold climates need effective
strategies of cold hardiness to survive the winter. Use of thermally buffered hibernacula is …

Abstract Information about animal movement patterns is critical to understanding their
ecology, and such information is essential to the design of conservation plans for threatened …

Climate change is occurring at an unprecedented rate and has begun to modify the
distribution and phenology of organisms worldwide. Chelonians are expected to be …

We estimated population densities, home ranges, habitat use, and seasonal movement
patterns of spotted turtles (Clemmys guttata), at two sites in central Massachusetts by radio …

This is the first guide yet produced to the amphibians and reptiles of New York State, a large
and heavily populated state that hosts a surprisingly diverse and interesting community of …

We used temperature-sensitive radiotransmitters to study habitat use and temperature
selection of spotted turtles (Clemmys guttata) on an island in Georgian Bay, Ontario …

Habitat selection is important for a species' survival, and its identification represents a crucial
component in the development of conservation strategies. Habitat selection occurs when …

We measured temperature variation in a free-ranging ectotherm by attaching micro-
dataloggers to the carapaces of 34 painted turtles (Chrysemys picta) in a farm pond located …

Background and aims Overwintering is a critical part of the annual cycle of animals living at
high latitudes, and selection of overwintering sites (hibernacula) is important to population …
