The improvement of techniques and analyses to understand the movement of freshwater
turtles has helped managers in decision-making and the establishment of management …

Seasonal ponds are small, isolated wetlands with variable hydrology, often occurring
embedded in upland forests, which provide habitat for amphibians and invertebrates …

Expanding the scope of landscape genetics beyond the level of single species can help to
reveal how species traits influence responses to environmental change. Multispecies …

Few areas within the Great Lakes basin are currently free from impact of human activities,
and it is important to study these reference conditions for comparison with degraded sites in …

Conservation decisions benefit from projections about the future condition of a species as
generated using population viability analysis (PVA) or other analytical techniques. For listing …

Road mortality is thought to be a leading cause of turtle population decline. However,
empirical evidence of the direct negative effects of road mortality on turtle population …

Providing evidence‐based care to animals is a common goal in zoos and aquariums.
However, there are many understudied species with a lack of information available, which …

Turtles are killed on roads, yet there is little evidence of negative road effects on their
abundances. We hypothesized that this could be due to reduced predation of turtle nests …

Characterizing how frequently, and at what life stages and spatial scales, dispersal occurs
can be difficult, especially for species with cryptic juvenile periods and long reproductive life …

Fragmentation of natural landscapes by linear anthropogenic features, such as roads, has
several negative consequences, including decreasing connectivity between habitats …
