- An analysis of the linked decisions in the confiscation of illegally traded turtles
Desireé Smith, Graziella V. DiRenzo, Jill Fleming et al. · Conservation Science and Practice · 2025-12 · open access
A bstract Over the last few decades, freshwater turtles have become more common in the illegal wildlife trade because of growing global demand. Illegally traded turtles may be intercepted by several different agencies with separate jurisdictions. When turtles are confiscated, uncertainties may make…

- Influences of Temperature and Time on Habitat Use Patterns of a Semi-Aquatic Turtle.
Staggs JM, Brown DJ, Cochrane MM et al. · Ecology and evolution · 2025-11 · open access
Many ectothermic vertebrates have predictable seasonal activity and habitat use patterns, but variable patterns at fine temporal scales (e.g., minutes to days) that are likely influenced by thermoregulatory demands on behavior. Wood turtles ( Glyptemys insculpta ) are freshwater turtles known to…

Gagné L, Lévesque A, Dupras J · Biodiversity and conservation · 2025-11
- Home Range Size and Habitat Usage of Hatchling and Juvenile Wood Turtles (Glyptemys insculpta) in Iowa
Jeffrey W. Tamplin, Joshua G. Otten, Samuel W. Berg et al. · Diversity · 2025-10 · open access
The Wood Turtle (Glyptemys insculpta) is an endangered species in the state of Iowa and a species of conservation concern across their entire range. The Iowa population is characterized by high levels of adult and embryo predation, displays little or no annual recruitment, and harbors an extremely…

Sara M. Spaid, Donald J. Brown, Joel L. Mota et al. · Journal of Wildlife Management · 2025-09
- Quantifying the relative importance of survival threats to a long-lived reptile using expert elicitation
Jennifer Frances Moore, J. Hardin Waddle, Fred Allen Johnson et al. · Endangered Species Research · 2025-07 · open access
Long-term survival of a conservation-reliant species requires understanding the impact of threats on population growth rate and the management actions that can help mitigate these threats. We used a threat assessment with expert-elicited estimates to determine the relative effect of each…
- Isolation of Bacillus cereus Group from the Fecal Material of Turtles.
Storz JL, Bevis DL, McLaughlin RW · microPublication biology · 2025-05 · open access
Members of the Bacillus cereus group can be animal and human pathogens. They can be found in foods, the environment and in animals. In this study, two B. cereus group members were isolated in a previous study from the fecal material of endangered Wood Turtles ( Glyptemys insculpta ) and three…

- Establishing a baseline: insights gained from studying a large population of a threatened species
Damien I. Mullin, Graham J. Forbes, Christopher B. Edge · Canadian Journal of Zoology · 2025-01 · open access
Data on threatened species are understandably biased as we prioritize researching populations undergoing declines rather than the few remaining stable populations. This prioritization bias reduces the availability of demographic benchmarks, resulting in continually shifting baselines and can result…

- Predicting the effectiveness of wildlife fencing along roads using an individual-based model: How do fence-following distances influence the fence-end effect?
Jonathan Wilansky, Jochen A.G. Jaeger · Ecological Modelling · 2024-07 · open access
Wildlife-vehicle collisions on roads pose a major threat to biodiversity and a danger to human motorists. Wildlife fencing prevents animals’ access to roads and reduces road mortality significantly. However, mitigation is often constrained by cost, and fences that are too short can be rendered…
