| Abstract |
|
Of those species not currently afforded complete protection by state or federal regulation, the 10 most vulnerable species (in descending order) are: wood turtles (Clemmys insculpta), Blanding’s turtles (Emydoidea blandingii), striped mud turtles (Kinosternon baurii), Cagle’s map turtles (Graptemys caglei), razorback musk turtles (Sternotherus carinatus), Mexican mud turtles (K. hirtipes), Pascagoula map turtles (G. gibbonsi), Black-knobbed map turtles (G. nigrinoda), Sonoran mud turtles (K. sonoriense), and red-bellied turtles (Pseudemys rubriventris). We recommend that these species be considered as a “Top 10” list of taxa requiring additional monitoring so as to prevent declines. Top 10 lists of this sort are popular with the public, and help to focus attention on species that otherwise receive little conservation funding.
