Hatching synchrony and survival in early life in the painted turtle, Chrysemys picta
… as a general predator avoidance strategy. In turtles, synchronous hatching promotes synchronous emergence from the nest and may limit predation by swamping and confusing predators or simply dilute the per capita risk of predation. However, synchronization of hatching in natural nests is …

Anoxia-Mediated Electrical Suppression in the Cerebral Cortex of the Western Painted Turtle (Chrysemys picta bellii): Role of the Mitochondrion
… of insufficient oxygen supply. The western painted turtle (Chrysemys picta bellii) has evolved the ability to survive winter months without access to air and does not experience any apparent neurological damage. It is able to achieve this by reducing energetically-demanding cellular …

Subspecific and Geographic Variation in Life-History Characteristics in Two Subspecies of Painted Turtle, Chrysemys Picta Bellii and Chrysemys Picta Dorsalis
Reproductive and body size characteristics were compared for two subspecies of Chrysemys picta to determine if variation in these traits is mainly influenced by geography (i.e. latitude and elevatoin) or if they vary subspecifically. Specimens of C. p. bellii and C. p. dorsalis were collected from …

Utilization of Stormwater Retention Ponds by Aquatic Turtles in Montgomery County, Virginia
… few studies have systematically investigated turtle use of stormwater ponds. To investigate stormwater pond use by turtles in western Virginia, I used records of permitted stormwater management structures in the Town of Christiansburg and City of Blacksburg, Virginia, and a stratified random …

The Integration Of Morphology, Variation, And Phylogenetics To Better Understand Fossil Taxa And Their Modern Relatives
… are the most diverse and widespread family of turtles in the New World. Their fossil record is relatively well known, but more complete fossils are less common and little work has been done to understand the relationships of potential fossil members. New species within both subfamilies …

Spatial ecology, habitat use, genetic diversity, and reproductive success: measures of connectivity of a sympatric freshwater turtle assemblage in a fragmented landscape
… for long-lived species such as freshwater turtles. Using integrative radio-telemetry and molecular methods, I examined characteristics in five species of turtles that should influence connectivity and long-term persistence of populations among remnant preserves within the Lower Des Plaines …

Spatial population dynamics of western painted turtles in a wetland ecosystem in northwestern Montana
… key in wildlife conservation. Although data on turtle survival and movement rates are available, few studies use rigorous statistical analyses and none include examination of stage-specific seasonal survival simultaneous with movement estimates. I used capture-mark-recapture methods to estimate …
