Trachemys scripta elegans Abstract 1. 1. From a given starting temperature, turtles were allowed to move freely within an experimental thermal gradient. Temperatures were measured from the surface of the plastron (Ta) and near the heart (Theart). From these temperatures the median selected temperature (MdST) and the mean selected temperature (MnST) were calculated. 2. 2. MdST and MnST, calculated from Ta or Theart, are positively correlated with time of day between 07:00 and 17:00 hr with slopes ranging from 0.42°C hr?1 to 0.60°C hr?1. 3. 3. The calculated regression equations for the three turtles tested do not differ significantly in slopes at the 95% level.
