Influence of Ultraviolet Light, Righting Response, and Community Structure in Aquatic Turtles
… tilt upon inversion on land. I investigated the righting response in slider turtles (Trachemys scripta: N = 102) to see whether choice of pivot side is correlated with inversion tilt. In 100% of trials, inverted turtles pivoted to the same side as the inversion tilt. Use of the carapacial keel to …

Growth Rate and Performance Effects on Watersnakes (Nerodia Sipedon) from Dietary Exposure to Heavy Metals
… growth rates and mean sprint speeds, higher response latency, and longer righting response latency times than snakes fed a control diet. This study affirms other recent reports documenting sublethal effects of contaminants in snake populations. Further studies on performance effects are …

Life on a gradient : activity levels of the seastar Patiriella exigua in different abiotic conditions
… by observing the activity coefficient of righting response of the two morphs of P. exigua under different temperatures and dissolved oxygen concentrations. The green morph was collected from Green Point (West Coast) and the mottled morph from Kalk Bay (South Coast). The results of a …
