Book excerpt: Assesses the conservation status of Clemmys insculpta, the wood turtle, which ranges discontinuously in north-eastern North America and is confined to specific habitats associated with streams.

Download or read book Wood Turtle Ecology and Management Strategies in a Landscape Under Active Agriculture written by Shaylyn Wallace and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I investigated the habitat selection of wood turtles (Glyptemys insculpta) in a landscape within active agriculture and assessed the risk of agricultural practices. I tracked 23 wood turtles and recorded their habitat use versus availability on a 3rd and 4th order scale. I found that wood turtles preferred fields over the forest and that hay fields are likely an attractant to wood turtles due to high food availability and low canopy cover. Wood turtles used the hayfields during the hay harvest season, and stayed close to field edges. I monitored the movement response of wood turtles as they were approached by agricultural machinery and found that most turtles could not successfully escape the mower. My study shows that agriculture poses a high risk to wood turtles in an agricultural landscape and management strategies are necessary to prevent populations from extirpation.

Download or read book Using Environmental DNA to Determine Wood Turtle Glyptemys Insculpta Presence in New Brunswick Canada Rivers written by Larissa Roehl and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Worldwide turtle and tortoise populations are declining, including the semi-aquatic wood turtle (Glyptemys insculpta) of eastern North America. With a limited survey season, a more efficient method of detection was needed to monitor this cryptic species. DNA barcoding with environmental DNA (eDNA) has been shown to be an effective method of monitoring cryptic, rare, and threatened species. Water samples were collected in October 2017 and 2018 from an upstream and downstream site on fourteen rivers in New Brunswick, Canada. In our eDNA lab, the samples were filtered, extracted and, with the use of species-specific primers and probe, amplified using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). With the use of qPCR, wood turtle eDNA was detected in five of six rivers known to inhabit the species. This method is a promising tool that can be used for the conservation and monitoring of G. insculpta.
Download or read book Developing Species Distribution Models for Wood Turtle Glyptemys Insculpta in Atlantic Canada written by Thomas Baker and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The wood turtle, Glyptemys insculpta, is listed as threatened federally in Canada and provincially in Nova Scotia (NS) and New Brunswick (NB). Historic surveying for G. insculpta in these provinces has been arbitrary and geographic knowledge gaps persist. To address these gaps, this research developed species distribution models for NS and NB using Maxent software, G. insculpta occurrence data, and environmental data relevant to the species' ecology. Resulting important model variables included 'Elevation', 'Distance to Alder', and 'Watercourse Density'. The model outputs were used to guide field surveys, which recorded G. insculpta occurrences at twelve new sites. In NS, the model output's prediction of G. insculpta distribution overlapped with 80.4% of identified core habitat, but only 4.6% of this predicted distribution was within protected areas. The findings will contribute to conservation of this at-risk species by predicting its distribution, and in doing so, inform future survey efforts and conservation decisions.

Book excerpt: Our Landscape Heritage provides an overview of the history and ecological makeup of the landscapes of New Brunswick to help ecological seekers starting out with basic knowledge about geology, soils, climate, and vegetation, to better understand why plants and animals are today distributed as they are. Part I outlines the rationale and history of ecological land classification (ELC) in New Brunswick, and presents basic scientific concepts and facts that help the reader to interpret the information that follows. Part II, Portrait of New Brunswick Ecoregions and Ecodistricts presents a detailed look at the variety and distribution of ecosystems across the geographic expanse of New Brunswick. Each of the seven chapters of Part II provides a high level description of the ecoregion, followed by detailed descriptions of each ecodistrict within the ecoregion.--Includes text from document.
Download or read book The Maryland Amphibian and Reptile Atlas written by Heather R. Cunningham and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2018-11-26 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive resource for finding, identifying, and conserving Maryland’s amphibians and reptiles. Naturalists, herpetologists, and ecologists alike agree that tracking herpetofauna is a challenging undertaking. Scientists are concerned about the decline of once-familiar species, but evidence has often been too anecdotal to support firm conclusions. To better understand the distribution of amphibians and reptiles in Maryland and forecast species' futures in a time of accelerated environmental threats, conducting a comprehensive statewide survey updating 1970s-era distribution maps seemed ideal. However, this endeavor was of an impossibly ambitious scope for scientists alone to tackle. Enter the Maryland Amphibian and Reptile Atlas project, comprising nearly a thousand dedicated citizen scientists who discovered and recorded the locations of herpetofauna throughout every corner of Maryland. In The Maryland Amphibian and Reptile Atlas, Heather R. Cunningham and Nathan H. Nazdrowicz present the findings of this massive undertaking. This definitive guide combines nearly 160 comprehensive new herpetological maps with historical distribution maps and in-depth species accounts. Color photos illustrate the natural history of the 89 species of frogs, salamanders, turtles, snakes, and lizards that call the state home. Essays discuss historical studies, the effects of Maryland's current climate, geology, and habitat diversity—and the myriad conservation issues these animals face. This richly detailed book represents a triumph of citizen science and the culmination of an intensive research partnership. It will appeal to both amateurs and professionals interested in herpetology, natural history, or ecology, as well as those with a special interest in Maryland's biodiversity.
