| Abstract |
|
During four years of project work (2006-2009), on the distribution and conservation of terrapins in the Castilla and León region (Spain), the majority of the rivers in this region were sampled. Datasets were obtained by compiling information after 2002, including citations by individuals and by field sampling, performed using visual linear transects (500-1000 m) and by live-capture using creels. The results reflect a significant increase in the number of records of non-native terrapins present. From more than 2000 points sampled a total of 67 positive results were obtained, distributed through nine provinces, in comparison with the six records and three provinces located in previous studies. These results allow us a more objective view of this problem and to determine with greater exactitude an action plan to manage it. Trachemys scripta scripta elegans Graptemys pseudogeographica
