Physiological Plasticity and Ecology of the Yellow Mud Turtle (Kinosternon Flavescens) During Hibernation
… degree to which hibernating yellow mud turtles (Kinosternon flavescens) were affected by warming winter temperatures. Temperature data collected by data loggers attached to turtles hibernating in the field were compared with soil temperature data. Turtles hibernated at a mean temperature of …
