| Abstract |
|
As turtle species worldwide continue to decline, headstarting has become one of the more popular techniques of ex situ conservation. However, the focus and funding for these projects is usually limited to the raising of the hatchlings, and little evaluation of this costly technique has been performed after their release. At Brookhaven National Laboratory, twenty headstarted spotted turtle (Clemmys guttata) donated from Cold Spring Harbor Fish Hatchery and Aquarium were introduced into two wetlands to supplement an existing population. Ten of these turtles were released with radio transmitters glued to their shells in hopes of analyzing their transition from captive to wild turtles.
