Movements of Translocated and resident Three-Toed Box Turtles
Period: April 15, 2007 - April 15, 2010
Contact: Joshua Millspaugh
Objectives: Translocation of terrestrial turtles occurs to mitigate habitat loss, increase population size or genetic
diversity, and to establish new populations. The success of many translocation efforts often depends on
social and economic factors, but ecological factors may also affect translocation success.
