Distribution and Abundance of Invasive Red-Eared Sliders (Trachemys scripta elegans) in California's Sacramento River Basin and Possible Impacts on Native Western Pond Turtles (Emys marmorata)

Examinations of the Ember of Invasive Species Problems: Trade Turnover of Cumberland Sliders Trachemys Scripta Troostii in the Pet Shops of Eastern Poland

In Poland, just like in many other countries, selling Red-eared terrapins Trachemys scripta elegans as invasive has been prohibited, but there are other subspecies of Trachemys scripta on the pet market, constituting a threat to the native Pond turtle Emys orbicularis. I provide data on the structure of local trade in turtles in eastern Poland and the factors driving it after the introduction o...

Stable Isotopes of C and N Reveal Habitat Dependent Dietary Overlap between Native and Introduced Turtles Pseudemys rubriventris and Trachemys scripta

Habitat degradation and species introductions are two of the leading causes of species declines on a global scale. Invasive species negatively impact native species through predation and competition for limited resources. The impacts of invasive species may be increased in habitats where habitat degradation is higher due to reductions of prey abundance and distribution. Using stable isotope ana...

An Experimental Study of the Influence of Embryonic Water Availability, Body Size, and Clutch on Survivorship of Neonatal Red-eared Sliders, Trachemys Scripta Elegans

The period during which neonatal aquatic turtles migrate from their nests to the water is a critical stage, as mortality is high. Thus, the patterns and targets of natural selection involving the turtles are important to investigate. To evaluate these questions, we incubated eggs of red-eared slider turtles (Trachemys scripta elegans) and overwintered the resulting hatchlings under ecologically...

Restore to good health in baby turtle, Trachemys scripta elegans with chronic anorexia and blind eyes
