Abstract The southern Appalachian Mountains in eastern North America host exceptional
diversity, a substantial proportion of which has been generated in place. Yet, beyond broad …

Dispersal and nesting philopatry are two processes that affect the connectivity, evolution,
and long-term viability of populations, and thus have important conservation implications for …

Effective population size (NE) is an important parameter for conservation of threatened
wildlife. Current estimators of NE that use genetic data, however, may not be equally useful …

Variation in personality among conspecific animals can be found both among and within
populations. Spatially varying ecological factors can lead to differences in average …

Hematology is a common tool for wildlife health assessments. Manual leukocyte counts are
required in reptiles, however, disagreement between quantification methods has been …

Research has shown that genetics and epigenetics regulate mating behavior across
multiple species. Previous studies have generally focused on the signaling pathways …

Physical features of the landscape as well as taxa-specific characteristics of an organism
may shape population genetic patterns by affecting dispersal and gene flow. Understanding …

Anthropogenic changes are expected to shape the genetic structure of many herpetofaunal
populations. Indeed, genetic analyses are often applied in disturbed habitats because they …

ABSTRACT The Eastern Box turtle (Terrapene Carolina carolina) is the most common
terrestrial turtle in the Eastern United States. Due to reported population declines throughout …
