It is now known in this state from more than 44 specimens from 11 localities in the Piedmont and Coastal Plain. Populations are known to occur at 4 localities and extensive field work was carried out at 3 of these. Data on size, sex, habitat, activity, behavior, reproduction, mortality, and distribution and abundance were collected and compared with data in the literature. These comparisons indicate that its biology in Delaware is similar to that in other states. Field data on cloacal temperature are presented for the first time, and this turtle was found to be active at a body temperature ranging from 17 to 35 C. This study and the recent great interest in the bog turtle reveal it to be more widely distributed and common than was previously thought. Although probably not as numerous as other turtles in its range, it is more secretive than rare.","PeriodicalId":106819,"journal":{"name":"Chesapeake Science","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1977-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125873237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The definition is rather arbitrarily based on separation by a 0.45 gm filter pore size. More than 90 percent of the total organic carbon (TOC) occurs in the dissolved form. The bulk of dissolved organic carbon compounds consists of biopolymers (e.g. polypeptides, polysaccharides) and geopolymers (humic substances). Since the chemical structure of the geopolymers requires specialized, less common enzyme systems for breakdown, microbial attack introduces a strong bias favoring digestion of the biopolymers. As a result, the latter make up less than 10 percent of the dissolved carbon, especially in river water where primary productivity is low. Humic substances are therefore the main","PeriodicalId":106819,"journal":{"name":"Chesapeake Science","volume":"110 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1977-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125011830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
