| Abstract |
|
Visual surveys were conducted to investigate the spatial distribution of the Northern Map Turtle (Graptemys geographica) and the Ouachita Map Turtle (Graptemys o. ouachitensis) in the Ohio, Great Kanawha, and Little Kanawha rivers, West Virginia, from May 24 to August 8, 2010. Both species were detected and photographed on the Ohio, Great Kanawha, and Little Kanawha rivers. Ouachita Map Turtles were documented in 3 new counties and Northern Map Turtles were documented in 2 new counties. Additionally, new county records were documented for Eastern Spiny Softshells (Apalone s. spinifera) and Eastern Musk Turtles (Sternotherus odoratus) and 42 photographs were deposited as vouchers at the West Virginia Biological Survey Museum. Further investigation is needed to determine the extent and continuity of Ouachita Map Turtle range in the Ohio River and its tributaries.
