Herpetological Review
Abstract
Hatchling and juvenile turtles are typically under-sampled in ecological studies because these smaller size classes are secretive and inconspicuous, occur at low densities, and often prove difficult to trap (Muldoon and Burke 2012. Can. J. Zool. 90:651–662; Selman 2018. Herpetol. Conserv. Biol. 13:399–407). Consequently, the ecology of hatchling and juvenile turtles is poorly known, despite the importance of these sizeclasses in life-history models and management plans (Muldoon and Burke, op. cit.). In particular, there is a notable paucity of information concerning the habitats used by juvenile turtles, which is regrettable given these data are critical for conservation planning (Selman, op. cit.).
