Book A Study of Head Started Blanding s Turtle  Emydoidea Blandingii  Hatchlings in Kejimkujik National Park

Download or read book A Study of Head Started Blanding s Turtle Emydoidea Blandingii Hatchlings in Kejimkujik National Park written by Ian Morrison and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reports a study conducted to: document the movement patterns of young Blandings turtles (Emydoidea blandingii); and identify areas used by young turtles as rearing grounds and hibernation sites. The study area was located in a park in south-western Nova Scotia. The turtles were hand-reared to an age when they could be fitted with radio transmitters and were then released at four sites, three located on small brooks and the fourth at a small pond. All release sites had boggy floodplain areas dominated by shrubs, grasses, and sphagnum moss. Tagged turtles were tracked daily for the first few days after release to determine whether they would move significantly after release. When determined they would not move significantly, they were positioned by telemetry every 3-7 days and recaptured every 3-14 days. Recaptured turtles were measured and examined to determine their condition. Results are presented and discussed related to turtle survival, movement, predation, behaviour, and habitat use.

Book National Recovery Plan for Blanding s Turtle  Emydoidea Blandingii  Nova Scotia Population

Download or read book National Recovery Plan for Blanding s Turtle Emydoidea Blandingii Nova Scotia Population written by RENEW (Canada) and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This plan has been prepared to define recovery actions necessary to protect and recover the Nova Scotia population of Blanding's turtle. The introduction presents background on the conservation status of the species and the biology of Blanding's turtle in Nova Scotia. Section 2 discusses factors affecting the vulnerability of the species, the role of the turtle in the Nova Scotia Atlantic interior ecosystem, and the recovery potential of the species. Section 3 outlines the recovery plan, including goals & objectives, strategies, and a sequence of actions. Additional information is provided for each step of the plan: determination of habitat requirements and availability, implementation of habitat protection, clarifying understanding of the turtle's life history, stabilizing population age structure through increased recruitment, investigating population genetics, and providing data storage and access. The final section contains a plan implementation schedule.

Book Comparitive Growth and Movement Analysis of Headstarted Blanding s Turtles  Emydoidea Blandingii  at Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site of Canada

Download or read book Comparitive Growth and Movement Analysis of Headstarted Blanding s Turtles Emydoidea Blandingii at Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site of Canada written by Nicole Denise d'Entremont and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With an estimated population of 350 adults, the population of Blanding's turtles in Nova Scotia is listed as Endangered both federally and provincially. Headstarting is used in Nova Scotia as part of the recovery program and is designed to improve the survivorship of turtles at an early life history stage. In 2009 and 2010, the largest Blanding's turtle headstarting effort to date in Nova Scotia was undertaken with eggs collected from Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site (KNP). These eggs were incubated and hatched at Oaklawn Zoo, Aylesford, Nova Scotia, and the hatchlings were subsequently raised in captivity for two years. A total of 154 headstarted turtles were re-introduced into KNP during the summers of 2011 and 2012. A total of 29 headstarted turtles released at Atkins Brook were tracked using radio telemetry to study growth and movement. For comparative purposes, 7 wild incubated turtles were also collected and tagged for radio tracking. Turtles were tracked weekly from April to November 2012 to collect movement data and were measured the first week of every month. For the purpose of analysis, turtles were divided into 4 groups: 2009-headstarts, 2010-headstarts, wild (3yrs), and wild (5-7). A pairwise comparison found a difference in movement rates between groups. Wild (5-7) turtles were found to have higher movement rates than all other groups (P

Book Ecological Monitoring and Research at Kejimkujik National Park  1978 92

Download or read book Ecological Monitoring and Research at Kejimkujik National Park 1978 92 written by and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A national network for ecosystem monitoring and assessment has been proposed to provide integrated ecological information for use in determining ecological consequences of various environmental stresses. In the Atlantic Maritime Ecozone, Kejimkujik National Park has been proposed as a candidate site for this network, since it is protected from development which may endanger long-term monitoring and assessment, is generally representative of the Ecozone, and has a key role in the acid precipitation monitoring network. This report discusses past, current, and future monitoring activity at the Park. The park site is described in terms of its spatial representativeness, science partnerships, and other aspects which suit its inclusion as part of a national ecosystem monitoring network. The appendix includes: a list of current research projects in the Park area; a brief chronology of Park events; and an extensive bibliography on the aquatic and terrestrial effects of acid precipitation.
