Elucidating the conservation status of Michigan's red-eared slider (trachemys scripta elegans): A phylogeographic approach
<p>The geographic origin of Michigan’s Trachemys scripta elegans has been a contentious subject since its first description in 1934. At that time two explanations were proposed: 1) populations of T. s. elegans are native to Michigan and naturally expanded their range from Ohio and Indiana; or 2) …

Nest Emergence and Chemosensory Mediated Predator Avoidance: Two Studies of Behavior in the Red-Eared Slider (Trachemys Scripta Elegans)
Predator avoidance is a key to the survival of any species. The emergence of offspring in a single event (mass emergence) aids early in life, while the ability to detect predators by olfactory means aids throughout. In one experiment, the effect of constant versus changing surface temperature on …

Invertebrate Fauna of the Carapaces of the Texas River Cooter (Pseudemys texana) and the Red-Eared Slider (Trachemys scripta elegans)
… (Pseudemys texana) and the Redeared slider (Trachemys scripta elegans) at Spring Lake, Hays County, Texas. Turtles were captured from August through November 2002 using hoop nets, basking traps, and dip nets. Invertebrate samples were obtained by scraping a small area of the carapace to …

Cell Cycle Regulation by Post-Translational and Post-Transcriptional Mechanisms in an Anaerobic Extremist- the Anoxia Tolerant Turtle, Trachemys Scripta Elegans
… environments, the red-eared slider turtle (T. s. elegans) can adapt at the biochemical level to deal with hibernation occurring in oxygen-free (anoxic) cold water (<10°C). In this thesis I hypothesized that the mechanisms which suppress ATP-expensive cell cycle activity, would contribute to …

The mechanism and function of transient pressure fluctuations occurring in the lungs during diving in the turtle, Trachemys (=Pseudemys); scripta elegans
… of all voluntary dives in the aquatic turtle, Trachemys scripta elegans. LPTs were studied to determine if they could enhance pulmonary gas exchange. Skeletal muscle is the primary mechanism responsible for creating these pressure fluctuations, based on their persistence following inactivation …

Locomotor kinematics of turtles moving in shallow water environments
… thesis, I chose different size red-eared slider (Trachemys scripta elegans) turtles to investigate their locomotion during discreet water depth, as well as during shallow water locomotion and investigated whether bone shape can be predictive of the environment they live in.

Characterizing the epidemiology of ranavirus in North American chelonians: diagnosis, surveillance, pathogenesis, and treatment
… environmental temperatures, red-eared sliders (Trachemys scripta elegans) inoculated through intramuscular injection with a FV3-like virus had higher mortality rates when maintained at 22oC than at 28oC, supporting the theory that this virus is less virulent at higher temperatures. FV3-like DNA …
