| Abstract |
|
Zones of intergradation and variation in the three subspecies of Florida Kinosternon subrubrum are analyzed. Ratios of plastral length/carapacial length, bridge length/carapacial length, posterior plastral width/posterior plastral length, and the presence of a divided nasal scale and head striping were used to analyze intraspecific variation. Previously recognized zones of intergradation are modified. Kinosternon s. subrubrum and K. s. hippocrepis intergrade in the Florida Panhandle west of Apalachee Bay. A second zone of intergradation between K. s. subrubrum and K. s. steindachneri occurs in northern Florida east of Apalachee Bay south to central peninsular Florida. Kinosternon s. steindachneri occurs in southern Florida.
