Citizen Science as a Tool for Augmenting Museum Collection Data from Urban Areas (2017, background): “Red-eared sliders are particularly common in places with high human density and moderately to highly modified habitats (Spinks et al., 2003; Conner et al., 2005; Eskew et al., 2010; Thomson et al., 2010).”
Review: Toward management of urban ponds for freshwater biodiversity (2019, background): “Non-native turtles are often deliberately introduced to urban ponds, where they may compete with native species, especially for basking sites (Spinks et al. 2003).”
The importance of aquatic and terrestrial habitat for the European pond turtle (Emys orbicularis): implications for conservation planning and management (2004, background): “At the wetland level, one useful and relatively inexpensive way of improving habitat for freshwater turtles is to provide basking logs, such as tree trunks and dead wood (Spinks et al. 2003).”
Verified non-indigenous amphibians and reptiles in Florida from 1863 through 2010: Outlining the invasion process and identifying invasion pathways and stages (2011, background): “The Southern Painted Turtle, Chrysemys dorsalis (Agassiz 1857), is indigenous to North America from southern Illinois to the Gulf, and from western Alabama to extreme southeastern Oklahoma, with a disjunct population in central Texas (Starkey et al. 2003; Ernst & Lovich 2009).”
