Information sheet with physical description, conservation status, habitat, habits and human interactions with the diamondback terrapin (Malaclemys terrapin).
Very little is known about the current population number, sex ratio, and distribution of Diamondback terrapin populations in Charleston, South Carolina estuaries. Terrapins were caught in the Ashley River, and population estimates were calculated using mark and recapture techniques and analyzed using the MARK program. Population size was estimated to be 3060 with a 95% confidence interval of 1964-4156. This gives around 179-378 terrapins per km2 of marsh habitat. The sex ratio was 1.7:1 male biased (p
Meshaka (zoology and botany, State Museum of Pennsylvania) and Babbitt (natural resources, University of New Hampshire) gather a cross-section of researchers to address the conservation of Florida's rich but imperiled herpetofauna. The 27 contributions represent original research, essays, and reviews that identify threats to amphibians and reptiles and to the system that supports them. The editors provide a consensus on the most important threats and offer recommendations for conserving the state's herpetofauna. Annotation : 2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
