|
An overview of 27 years of field work on the natural history of ornate box turtles on the Crescent Lake National Wildlife Refuge in the sandhill of western Nebraska will be provided. Discussion will include the value of long-term studies of relatively undisturbed box turtle populations in providing benchmarks for comparison with data from populations increasingly impacted by humans. Attention will also be paid to those aspects of the natural history of box turtles that are most elusive (reproductive frequency, juvenile survivorship, population density, etc.), and the role that climate change may play in box turtle population dynamics. Finally, the increasingly important role of individuals (not academics nor governments) in the long-term survival and success of box turtles will also be addressed.
