The importance of aquatic and terrestrial habitat for the European pond turtle (Emys orbicularis): implications for conservation planning and management (2004, background): “choose nesting sites several hundred metres from their residential ponds, often in open areas near woodlands (Rovero and Chelazzi 1996; Jablonski and Jablonska 1998; Schneeweiss and Steinhauer 1998; Andreas 2000; Meeske 2000; Utzeri and Serra 2001), likely because the choice of nesting site at both ”
Heterogeneous wetland complexes, buffer zones, and travel corridors: Landscape management for freshwater reptiles (2007, background): “…in terrestrial habitats for overwintering (Kingsbury and Coppola, 2000; Roe et al., 2003), aestivation (Morales-Verdeja and Vogt, 1997; Buhlmann and Gibbons, 2001), and nesting (Spencer and Thompson, 2003), all of which typically occur within 289 m of wetlands (Semlitsch and Bodie, 2003).”
The repeatability of behaviour: a meta-analysis (2009, background): “... the behaviour of individually marked animals on several occasions is laborious and therefore it is not surprising that few studies have systematically attempted to compare repeatability across ages (Bakker 1986; Masters et al. 1995; Battley 2006 Missoweit et al. 2007), sexes (Dingemanse et al. 2”
Enclosed nests may provide greater thermal than nest predation benefits compared with open nests across latitudes (2017, background): “Reduced nest predation risk is the prevailing and most commonly invoked hypothesis for benefits of enclosed nests across taxa (Nice 1957; Snow 1978; Fowler 1979; Oniki 1979, 1985; Gross & MacMillan 1981; Magnusson & Hero 1991; Spencer & Thompson 2003; Hall et al. 2015).”
