Feral pig predation threatens the indigenous harvest and local persistence of snake-necked turtles in northern Australia (2006, background): “…et al., Feral pig preda ia, (2006), doi:10.1016/ human-induced changes resulting in depressed adult survivorship are of great concern (Garber and Burger, 1995; Heppell et al., 1996; Close and Seigel, 1997;Galbraith et al., 1997; Hall et al., 1999; Aiken et al., 2001; Gibbons et al., 2001).”
Crab trapping causes population decline and demographic changes in diamondback terrapins over two decades (2007, background): “Smaller terrapins, primarily males and immature females, are apparently more susceptible to mortality in crab traps than adult females because they can more easily enter trap openings (Roosenburg et al., 1997; Gibbons et al., 2001).”
Microsatellite DNA loci from the Diamondback terrapin (Malaclemys terrapin) (2003, background): “Mark– recapture data have indicated that terrapins have extraordinarily high site fidelity to specific tidal creeks and sections of creeks (Gibbons et al. 2001; Tucker et al. 2001) or sections of a river (Roosenburg et al. 1999), and female terrapins have also been found to return to the same…”
