Animals can obtain social information from monitoring chemical cues in their environment left behind by conspecifics, competitors, predators, or prey. Whereas many studies have addressed the ability of snakes to trail scents in the laboratory along a

Fire can have diverse effects on ecosystems, including direct effects through injury and mortality and indirect effects through changes to available resources within the environment. Changes in vegetation structure such as a decrease in canopy cover

The effects of disturbance, including prescribed fire, vary among species and their ability to adjust to the altered environment. Our objective was to link fire-caused habitat changes with shifts in habitat use and behavioral changes in the Southern

Trade-offs can cause conservation measures designed to improve habitat for one aspect of a species life history to inadvertently decrease its suitability in other ways. We explored the potential trade-off between thermal characteristics and risk of p

While conducting an on-going project investigating the effects of prescribed fire on reptile communities, 31 Terrapene Carolina Carolina (Eastern Box Turtle) were captured in burned and unburned study sites; some with extensive injuries that were lik

Following perturbations like commercial harvests, turtles are susceptible to population declines because of life history characteristics such as long generation times, low recruitment rates, delayed maturity, and slow growth rates. Prior to gaining s

Habitat selection in adult Alligator Snapping Turtles (Macrochelys temminckii) is known for only a few populations. Given that habitat availability can vary in different geographical locations, we used radiotelemetry to study habitat selection in a r

Reproduction is a critical part of an animal's life history, but one which incurs significant costs to survival and future reproductive potential. These physiological consequences are likely to be influenced by context – for example, if an individu
