| Abstract |
|
Kinosternon sonoriense from several central Arizona streams were examined for the presence of epiphytic and epizoic organisms. At Tule Stream, monthly collections were made for one year and changes in density, composition, and condition of algae were recorded. Turtles were also examined for other epiphytic and epizoic organisms. K. sonoriense was host for the following organisms: the algae Dermatophyton sp., Basicladia chelonum, B. crassa, an unidentified Phycomycete and the leeches Erpobdella punctata and Placobdella rugosa.
