We examined females and individuals for which sex was unknown using ultrasound to determine sex and reproductive status. We used testosterone concentration to confirm individual sex assignments. For all biometric measurements, adult males were larger than females. Testosterone concentrations were higher in adult and subadult males than in females. Head width did not differ between the sexes when adjusted for body size. Plastron-to-vent length (cm) and testosterone concentrations were significantly greater in adult and subadult male turtles compared to females and were valuable in determining sex of smaller adults >25 cm straight-midline carapace length.","PeriodicalId":49490,"journal":{"name":"Southeastern Naturalist","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84203486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As the success of the breeding programs increase, additional release sites are needed where suitable habitat persists for reintroduction of Alligator Snapping Turtles, but methods to evaluate habitat suitability remain loosely defined. We developed a standardized field survey and habitat suitability model that can be used to assess and prioritize potential reintroduction sites. We measured important habitat features in the field and indexed them using a simple model that translated continuous data to an ordinal scoring system, resulting in an overall site-suitability score. We developed the model using 2 potential measurements of submerged deadwood density and determined habitat suitability among 17 sites in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Mississippi where Alligator Snapping Turtles were absent, present, and reintroduced. The model using side-scan sonar correctly predicted the presence of good habitat at sites where wild and reintroduced populations of Alligator Snapping Turtles were present, and scores were significantly related to Alligator Snapping Turtle abundance.","PeriodicalId":49490,"journal":{"name":"Southeastern Naturalist","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80645891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite a presumed statewide distribution in Mississippi, the Alligator Snapping Turtle had been documented in only 32 of 82 counties between 1857 and 2012, thus leaving a substantial gap in our knowledge of this species' distribution. Therefore, we collected credible records from museums, literature, and the general public, as well as directly assessed the current distribution and relative abundance of the Alligator Snapping Turtle in all major river systems (i.e., Pascagoula, Pearl, Tombigbee, and Mississippi river drainages) in Mississippi. From 2017 to 2021, we systematically trapped 77 sites across the state totaling 839 captures of 787 individual Alligator Snapping Turtles over the course of 4750 trap nights. State-wide catch per unit effort (CPUE) averaged 0.177, with the Big Black River (0.348) and Tombigbee River (0.028) drainages having the highest and lowest average CPUE, respectively. In Mississippi, CPUE was positively correlated with greater surrounding wetland area and river size, and negatively correlated with terrain ruggedness. This survey, along with the collaboration of other biologists and the public, verified an additional 189 locality records in 56 counties, with Alligator Snapping Turtle presence reconfirmed at 29 of 30 historical localities. Currently, it appears that there have been no local extirpations of the species in Mississippi, and state-wide CPUE was higher than those of the surrounding states.","PeriodicalId":49490,"journal":{"name":"Southeastern Naturalist","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75148436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These factors, as well as the success of baited hoop traps in attracting the species at night, have created the perception that the species is predominantly nocturnal and does not bask. However, a growing body of evidence suggests that the species is also diurnally active and does bask. The use of binoculars and high-range cameras combined with extensive time in the field allowed us to document 25 instances of diurnal activity including behaviors such as basking, protrusion of the head above water, swimming, and foraging (i.e., entering baited traps). Our observations contribute to increasing evidence that both adults and juveniles exhibit basking and other diurnal behaviors.","PeriodicalId":49490,"journal":{"name":"Southeastern Naturalist","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90270226","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We placed 173 interactions involving 192 incidents into 9 IUCN threat categories and found bycatch involving fish hooks to be 4 times more numerous than the second-most numerous threat, turtle persecution. Fishing bycatch resulted in a high proportion of turtle mortalities (39%), and bycatch incidents in several cases preceded the highest-mortality threat (53%), persecution of individuals involving shooting or blunt trauma.

The original species, M. temminckii, was recently split into M. temminckii, M. apalachicolae, and M. suwanniensis. However, the status of M. apalachicolae is contested. In this study, we generated thousands of genome-wide loci to quantify population structure and genetic differentiation across the range of Macrochelys spp. Our data indicate that M. apalachicolae is genetically distinct, with little gene flow between M. apalachicolae and other species, thus adding evidence that M. apalachicolae may be a distinct species. We also find genetic variation partitioned among river drainages, with very high intra- and interspecific genetic divergence among river drainages. We suggest that translocations and re-introductions only move turtles in this genus within their natal river drainages to preserve existing patterns of genetic diversity.","PeriodicalId":49490,"journal":{"name":"Southeastern Naturalist","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72994595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
