Abstract

Abstract - Herein we briefly provide a background context for and summary overview of the articles comprising this special issue of the Southeastern Naturalist on Macrochelys spp. (alligator snapping turtles). We also make a case for standardization in collecting and reporting morphometric data on these species, clarify the current taxonomic status within the genus, provide updated information on the distribution of Macrochelys in the US, and include a current bibliography and categorical analysis over time of the rapidly growing collection of literature focused on these iconic turtles.

期刊介绍： The Southeastern Naturalist covers all aspects of the natural history sciences of terrestrial, freshwater, and marine organisms and the environments of the southeastern portion of North America, roughly bounded from North Carolina south to Florida, west to Texas, north to Oklahoma, and east back to North Carolina. Manuscripts based on field studies outside of this region that provide information on species within this region may be considered at the Editor’s discretion.
