Marine reptiles and mammals are phylogenetically so distant from each other that their
marine adaptations are rarely compared directly. We reviewed ecophysiological features in …

Plastic pollution, and especially plastic ingestion by animals, is a serious global issue. This
problem is well documented in marine systems, but it is relatively understudied in freshwater …

Sexual dimorphism in head size and shape has been documented in many animals and is
often thought to be related to the consumption of different prey in males and females thus …

The impacts associated with global climate change (eg, sea-level rise, tropical storms, and
warming temperatures) are expected to alter predator–prey interactions, foundation species …

Diamondback terrapins (Malaclemys terrapin) are sexually dimorphic generalist turtles that
inhabit salt marshes and estuaries along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the United States …

We reviewed quantitative studies of terrapin diets chronologically (Table 11.1) to provide a
comparative synthesis of earlier studies and generate insights for future work. Early work …

Single‐visit surveys of plots are often used for estimating the abundance of species of
conservation concern. Less‐than‐perfect availability and detection of individuals can bias …

Dietary studies on generalist predators may provide valuable information on spatial or
temporal changes in the structure of ecological communities. We initiated this study to …

Animal diets may vary spatially or temporally as resource availability vary. Diets of species
with extensive geographic ranges often span multiple habitats, thus their diets may vary …

The Florida east coast terrapin (Malaclemys terrapin tequesta) is a rare and potentially
endangered species that is difficult to survey because of poor detection probability and a …
