Competitive interactions during basking between native and invasive freshwater turtle species (2010, background): “Adapted to environments with greater levels of interspecific competition and aggressiveness, sliders can easily monopolize the most suitable basking sites in their new habitats, where they have been introduced, impeding basking by native turtles (Cadi and Joly 2003), probably contributing to the los”
The reproductive ecology of exotic Trachemys scripta elegans in an invaded area of southern Europe (2008, background): “In fact, T. s. elegans has been reported to affect survival of E. orbicularis, competing for basking sites (Cadi and Joly, 2004) while the displacement of individuals of M. leprosa has also been detected in the study areas (unpublished data).”
Aggressive interactions during feeding between native and invasive freshwater turtles (2011, background): “Recent studies have pointed out to diverse competitive advantages of sliders over Spanish terrapins, such as a more accurate assessment of predatory risk in altered habitats, displacement of native turtles mediated by chemical cues avoidance, or a greater thermal inertia that favors heat retention (”
From introduction to the establishment of alien species: bioclimatic differences between presence and reproduction localities in the slider turtle (2009, background): “These feral sliders can have negative effects on native biodiversity (Cadi & Joly, 2003, 2004; Teillac-Deschamps & Prevot-Julliard, 2006), but their eradication can be successful even with moderate effort, since current recruitment is zero, and trapping techniques have a high success rate on adult…”
