This book was released on 2006 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The spotted turtle (Clemmys guttata) is categorized as protected and a species of special concern in New York State. Understanding the habitat use, movement patterns, and life history characteristics of this species will be essential for any future efforts to provide the necessary habitat requirements for their successful recovery and management. Rochester Institute of Technology partnered with the Seneca Park Zoo and the New York Department of Environmental Conservation to investigate the release of captive-bred spotted turtles. The goal of this study was to determine the movements, habitat use, survivorship, and growth of the captive-bred spotted turtles in a natural environment. The release of suitable numbers of captive-bred spotted turtles into a proper environment where their habitat and resource needs are met should lead to individual survival and the establishment of a sustainable population. During this study, the majority of turtles were lost due to three major causes, premature battery failure, death due to predation, and death due to starvation. The results showed that the longer an individual was part of the study the more weight they lost (p=
Download or read book The Population Dynamics of the Spotted Turtle Clemmys Guttata on Carroll Island written by Wayne G. Landis and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The population dynamics and structure of the spotted turtle, Clemmys guttata, were studies from 1970 until 1982. Carroll Island was the site of chemical testing from post WW II until 1971. Special consideration was given to the impact upon the populations of turtles by the chemicals released on Carroll Island. Several findings are noteworthy. The number of juveniles on the island has steadily declined over the 12 years of sampling. The current (1982) population is half of that estimated for 1972-73. The proportion of females dropped as low as 0.25 of the population. Four possible hypotheses are delivered to explain the observations. The most likely explanations are that a temperature anomaly or natural catastrophe dramatically reduced the proportion of females present. At the same time the population of turtles overshot the carrying capacity of the environment after cessation of an artificial or natural constraint.

Download or read book The Amphibians and Reptiles of Michigan written by J. Alan Holman and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Holman uniquely bridges the gap between neo- and paleoherpetology and shows that Michigan's modern herpetofaunas reflect Pleistocene (ice age) and Holocene (warm period after the ice age) events, as the entire modern population was forced to re-invade the state after the last withdrawal of ice. In Part 1, Holman discusses Michigan as an amphibian and reptile habitat, including a geological, climatic, and vegetational history. Part 2 presents recent species accounts, covering all fifty-four species of amphibians and reptiles, along with their general distribution, Michigan distribution (with range maps), geographic variation, habitat and habits, reproduction and growth, diet, predation and defense, interaction with humans, behavioral characteristics, population health, and general remarks. In Part 3, Holman examines the Michigan herpetofauna in Quaternary and recent historical times and the species accounts include Pleistocene, Holocene, and archaeological records.
Download or read book Revising a Habitat Suitability Model for Spotted Turtles Clemmys Guttata in Upstate New York written by Caitlin Dailey and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In order to protect threatened and endangered species, their habitat needs to be adequately documented and assessed for conservation planning. The utilization of mapping programs such as ArcGIS can help researchers in determining the most optimal sites for a particular species in a given area. This research revises a previous habitat suitability model by Correa-Berger (2007) for the spotted turtle (Clemmys guttata) in nine counties of upstate New York. Using the same initial parameters for the creation of the seed sites and habitat requirements for spotted turtles that Correa-Berger used in his 2007 analysis, the model utilized updated Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) data, added a stream connectivity parameter, and added a calcium carbonate soil parameter in order to improve the model. The initial updated model did not fit well with the historical spotted turtle sightings from the NYSDEC. A second model was created using a simplified seed site methodology, an adjusted road width parameter, and eliminated the use of the DEC classified wetlands. The revised model captured 16 out of 33 turtle sightings within what was considered optimal sites. While the second model was more successful matching the historical spotted turtle sightings compared to the first model, analysis of model misses suggest the model could potentially be improved with the use of a locally created LULC classification using remote sensing techniques, expanding the stream connectivity parameters to include stream health, and using additional soil parameters."--Abstract.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, 2011 Book Award, The Wildlife Society2009 Outstanding Academic Title, Choice Ernst and Lovich’s thoroughly revised edition of this classic reference provides the most updated information ever assembled on the natural histories of North American turtles. From diminutive mud turtles to giant alligator snappers, two of North America’s most prominent experts describe the turtles that live in the fresh, brackish, and marine waters north of Mexico. Incorporating the explosion of new scientific information published on turtles over the past fifteen years—including the identification of four new species—Ernst and Lovich supply comprehensive coverage of all fifty-eight species, with discussions of conservation status and recovery efforts. Each species account contains information on identification, genetics, fossil record, distribution, geographic variation, habitat, behavior, reproduction, biology, growth and longevity, food habits, populations, predators, and conservation status. The book includes range maps for freshwater and terrestrial species, a glossary of scientific names, an extensive bibliography for further research, and an index to scientific and common names. Logically organized and richly illustrated—with more than two hundred color photographs and fifty-two maps—Turtles of the United States and Canada remains the standard for libraries, museums, nature centers, field biologists, and professional and amateur herpetologists alike.
