• Translocation as a conservation tool: site fidelity and movement of repatriated gopher tortoises (Gopherus polyphemus) (2005, background): “These results are even more striking considering that the Year 1 activity areas were calculated using only the first 50 tracking locations compared to the full activity season (April–October) for Year 2.”
• Burrow‐dwelling ecosystem engineers provide thermal refugia throughout the landscape (2013, background): “Tortoises spend almost all of their time inside of burrows (>95%; Eubanks et al., 2003; Pike & Grosse, 2006), and these structures provide surprisingly similar and consistent thermal environments that result in predictable thermal refugia across the landscape (Johnston, 1996; Anderson, 2001).”
