Ornate box turtle (Terrapene ornata) demography in northern Illinois
… at the population level. The Ornate Box Turtle (Terrapene ornata) is a threatened species in Illinois and lacks essential demographic data. Over the last two centuries, nearly all Illinois prairie has been converted to agriculture, and consequently, Ornate Box Turtles are now confined to small …

Digestion and Chelonochory in Two Sympatric Species of Box Turtles, Terrapene Carolina and Terrapene Ornata, on Pure Diets of Fruit
Terrapene carolina and T. ornata are sympatric in Missouri; however they tend to be habitat specific. There is also a disparity in their diets, with T. carolina tending to be slightly more herbivorous than T. ornata. Differences in diet and habitat may require different digestive physiologies in …

Spatial, Dietary, and Temporal Niche Parameters of Two Species of Box Turtle (Terrapene) in Microsympatry
Three-toed box turtles (Terrapene carolina) and ornate box turtles (Terrapene ornata) were collected from two sites where both species are found in microsympatry: Penn-Sylvania Prairie, Dade County, and Osage Prairie, Vernon County, Missouri. A total of 203 turtles were collected on both prairies …
