|
To understand better how eastern box turtles (Terrapene carolina carolina) are affected by forest management practices, we monitored movements of box turtles prior to silvicultural treatments within the Hardwood Ecosystem Experiment (HEE) in Indiana. During 2007 and 2008, we tracked 23-28 turtles on six units of the HEE. Estimated minimum convex polygon home-range sizes (range 0.8-187.7 ha) varied among units and across years but were similar among slated treatment types (control, even-aged, and uneven-aged). These data will allow us to test for short-term responses of box turtles to silvicultural practices aimed at oak (Quercus) regeneration.
