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 …

Biological functions are dependent on the temperature of the organism. Animals may
respond to fluctuation in the thermal environment by regulating their body temperature and …

Forest structure strongly influences ambient environmental conditions such as light and
temperature, but most studies on habitat selection by mobile organisms have either ignored …

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 …

Identifying habitats in which a species is likely to be found is extremely important for
understanding the life history and general ecology of the species. Studies of habitat …

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 …

Roads impact wildlife in a variety of direct and indirect ways. Roads may act as barriers to
dispersal, lead to decreasing population size and genetic diversity, change animal behavior …

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 …

Using mark-recapture techniques, temperature-sensitive radio transmitters, and miniature
temperature data loggers we investigated the hibernation ecology of northern temperate …

We used radio-telemetry to investigate the seasonal dynamics of wetland use by Spotted
Turtles (Clemmys guttata) and Blanding's Turtles (Emydoidea blandingii) in southern Maine …
