- Using High-Resolution Radiotracking to Improve Inference About the Spatial Ecology of Small, Slow-Moving Ectotherms.
Liles KE, Barajas-Salazar K, Mali I · Ecology and evolution · 2025-10 · open access
Ornate box turtle ( Terrapene ornata ) and eastern box turtle ( Terrapene carolina carolina ) are long-lived, relatively small, and slow-moving ectotherms experiencing range-wide declines primarily due to habitat loss. Understanding home range and movement patterns of box turtles is crucial for…

- Spatial Ecology and Movement of Ornate Box Turtles in the Escalating Drought Conditions of the Great Plains Ecoregion
Rachel E. Weaver, Thanchira Suriyamongkol, Sierra N. Shoemaker et al. · Fire · 2025-01 · open access
Shifts in global climate patterns can alter animal behavior, including movement and space use. The southwestern United States of America is currently undergoing a period of megadrought, which can have profound consequences on small ectothermic organisms like box turtles. We radiotracked eight adult…

Devin Edmonds, Laura A. Adamovicz, Matthew C. Allender et al. · Wildlife Biology · 2023-12 · open access
Turtles and tortoises are among the most threatened vertebrate groups. Their life history is characterized by delayed sexual maturity and a long lifespan, making populations susceptible to decline following perturbations. Despite the urgent conservation need, we are missing estimates of basic…
