| Abstract |
|
The Wood Turtle, Glyptemys insculpta, is a semi-aquatic species of northeastern North America that hibernates in small to medium-sized hard-bottomed streams and rivers. I provide the first record of G. insculpta associated with an abandoned mine drainage-impaired (AMD) stream in Clarion County, Pennsylvania, USA. AMD-impaired streams may provide suitable hibernation sites for G. insculpta, regardless of low pH, sulfates and metals that are stressful to wholly aquatic organisms.
