Assessment Summary – May 2004 Common name Spotted Turtle Scientific name Clemmys guttata Status Endangered Reason for designation This species occurs at low density, has an unusually low reproductive potential, combined with a long-lived life history, and occurs in small numbers in bogs and marshes that are fragmented and disappearing. Although some populations are in protected areas, they may have a low probability of persistence, especially because small numbers and isolation reduce population viability. The low frequency of juveniles in most studied populations suggests these populations are composed largely of remnant, aged cohorts with low reproductive success. Another clear threat is from collection for the pet trade. There is no rescue effect. Occurrence Ontario, Quebec Status history Designated Special Concern in April 1991. Status re-examined and designated as Endangered in May 2004. Last assessment based on an update status report.
