Post‐catastrophe patterns of abundance and survival reveal no evidence of population recovery in a long‐lived animal
Population catastrophes are widespread, unpredictable phenomena occurring in natural
populations that have important, yet frequently underappreciated, consequences for …

Demographic evidence that development is not compatible with sustainability in semi‐urban freshwater turtles
Balancing urban development with environmental sustainability is a major challenge that is
increasingly recognized in planning decisions. Urban development proposals are often …

Decades of Road Mortality Cause Severe Decline in a Common Snap** Turtle (Chelydra serpentina) Population from an Urbanized Wetland
Road networks threaten biodiversity and particularly herpetofauna, including common
snap** turtles (Chelydra serpentina), which have an especially slow life history that …

Reduced predation on roadside nests can compensate for road mortality in road‐adjacent turtle populations
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 …

Anthropogenic nest sites provide warmer incubation environments than natural nest sites in a population of oviparous reptiles near their northern range limit
Oviposition site choice affects a host of offspring phenotypes and directly impacts maternal
fitness. Recent evidence suggests that oviparous reptiles often select nest sites where the …
