Abstract |
The Red-necked Pond Turtle (Mauremys nigricans) is a small, semi-aquatic turtle known to occur in southern China (Guangdong Province) and perhaps in extreme northern Vietnam (Bonin et al., 2006; Fig. 1). This species is found in a variety of habitats, including "watercourses in hills and mountains, up to 1,200m altitude, as well as in calm, mud-bottomed waters and sometimes fast-flowing clear torrents" (Bonin et al., 2006). Despite being featured in the pet trade and Asian food markets for many years, little natural history information has been documented for M. nigricans. As a result of its relatively restricted range, ongoing exploitation, and lack of natural history data, M. nigricans is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Redlist of threatened species (IUCN 2009)
