This paper in Animal Conservation, by Mike Knoerr, Anna Tutterow, Gabrielle Graeter, Shannon Pittman and Kyle Barrett, analyzes population growth rate estimates and management interventions for 5 NC bog turtle sites.

When sharing the paper, Mike wrote, “… thank you all for your contributions to this paper… It’s built on the back of decades of sun-baked poking and prodding. I hope that you find it interesting, and that it improves the way we understand and manage our bog turtle populations.”
