A handful of wetlands have held onto water, and even better, they’re holding #SpottedTurtles! We kicked off the season on a high note, documenting turtles at two sites with no previous records!
Over the last several months, we kept a small number of hatchling #SpottedTurtles in a lab to study how nest temperature affects survival, growth, & fitness. Partners at @ZooNewEngland replicated this work with turtles from Massachusetts, allowing comparisons...
We’ve been very busy lately! As our #SpottedTurtles continue nesting, we’re collecting data on nest site, clutch size, egg morphometrics, etc. This reproductive ecology data is vital for informing future management of conservation of this imperiled species.
In hidden wetlands of the Southeast, finding #SpottedTurtles can feel like chasing ghosts. This month, Houston highlights years of surveys that reveal sparse turtle sightings but critical insights for their #conservation across these fragmented habitats.

Happy #WorldTurtleDay!
Even though #SpottedTurtles have a large distribution, they are declining across most of their range. Listed as endangered in Canada and on the IUCN Red List, Spotted Turtles face a wide variety of threats...
As part of our long-term study on #SpottedTurtles in the southeastern U.S., we collected tissue samples to analyze their #genetics. Our findings were recently published in Chelonian Conservation and Biology.

The Orianne Society began working with #SpottedTurtles in Georgia in 2014. Over the last 10 years, they have become one of our primary focal species, with work stretching across Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina.

#SpottedTurtles are often the first to surface in the Northeast each spring, sometimes when there is still snow on the ground. Some have likely already basked in Vermont this year. They are critically endangered here, so it is rare to see them no matter what time of year it is.
Houston joined Virginia Tech researchers to demonstrate sampling methods for #SpottedTurtles, which are notoriously difficult to sample in the southeast because of their selective habitat use and secretive nature. They discussed techniques and successfully captured 6 #turtles.
Interested in the timing of #fallfoliage, lifecycles of twisted-wing parasites, or #spottedturtles populations in our Forest? Become a Friend of the Forest https://t.co/JRlHBsfORH… and you can meet our scientists on 10/21 to learn more! #naturelovers #outdoorlearning
#SpottedTurtles travel through forests to feed in different shallow wetlands throughout the year. That is why protecting and restoring forests in key areas is a focus in our Hudson-Berkshire #Turtle Conservation Program.

A recent report in @ESAEcology's #TheScientificNaturalist series discovered that a population of #SpottedTurtles makes an unusual home in winter: inside a hollow oak tree

Typically born with a single yellow spot on each scute, #SpottedTurtles show an amazing variety of patterns by adulthood, including both vibrantly spotted individuals to individuals completely lacking spots.

We’re seeing lots of juvenile #SpottedTurtles again this monitoring season, which is always great to see! The future of our Georgia populations rests on their little shells!

Endangered in Canada and on the IUCN Red List, #SpottedTurtles face a wide variety of threats - habitat loss, fragmentation, collection for pet trade and road mortality is occurring across their range. Donate today, help guide future conservation efforts. https://t.co/4MnDGBTxMb
While on a recent trip to New York, Kiley stumbled upon a vernal pool that was full of #SpottedTurtles foraging on tadpoles and salamander eggs. He might have missed the pool entirely, were it not for an enthusiastic 8-year-old who found the pool and spotted the first #turtle!
