Turtles are a small taxon that has nevertheless attracted much attention from biologists for
centuries. However, a major portion of their life cycle has received relatively little attention …

A study of Blanding's turtles conducted during 27 of the last 37 years provided demographic
data sufficient to examine how life‐history characteristics may constrain population …

There is a contemporary trend in many major research institutions to de‐emphasize the
importance of natural history education in favor of theoretical, laboratory, or simulation …

SYNOPSIS. A study of common snap** turtles conducted from 1975 through 1992 in
southeastern Michigan provided sufficient demographic data to examine how life history …

As more reptiles find their way onto endangered species lists, it is increasingly important to
identify management alternatives that can be applied across taxa. I have compared life …

Road mortality is suspected to have contributed to widespread population declines in turtles
in the United States, a country with exceptionally high turtle diversity. We examined the issue …

Efforts to mitigate road effects are now common in new highway construction projects. For
effective mitigation of road effects it is important to identify the species whose populations …

Road mortality has the potential to alter the structure of turtle populations because turtle
populations are highly sensitive to additive sources of adult mortality. To address the issue …

Roads built through or near wetlands cause significant mortality of reptiles and amphibians
and create barriers to migration and dispersal. I investigated the number of times turtles and …

Differential road mortality may affect the demography of vertebrate populations when
movements associated with foraging, reproduction, or dispersal cause a greater proportion …
