Donini (1)*, Brooke Talley (2), Adrian Rodriguez(1) Juliana Loredo (1), Cristal Navarrete (1), Richard Guevera (1), and Jackie Drew (1) (1) Florida SouthWestern State College; (2) Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission[Jtdonini@fsw.edu] Key Words: Terrapene bauri, Turtles, Home Range, Population Status, Habitat Selection Florida Box Turtles (Terrapene bauri) range throughout peninsular Florida and occupy a number of habitats from hammock forest, pine uplands, and even shell mound islands. Outside of the long-term studies on Egmont Key, very few studies have investigated the ecology and population of T. bauri in southern Florida. We assessed population demography, morphology, habitat use, and dietary components, in a coastal population of box turtles in southwestern Florida. We used meandering surveys to detect individuals and attached Radio-transmitters to a subset of 15 individuals to monitor movements and habitat use. Standard morphological data was collected along with sex and size class. A subset of individuals were placed into buckets with water for fecal collection to assess diet composition. 282 individuals were captured (109 females, 108 males, 64 juveniles) over a two-year period. Home range estimates are still being analyzed, but habitat use varied with most telemetry encounters coming from Costal Scrub and Mangrove Edge habitats. Direct observations of turtles in the water, along with detected algal growth was indicative of highly aquatic behaviors. Sex ratios for this populations were almost 50/50 , while adult carapace length averaged 133.95 mm. Males were significantly longer than females, in addition to having significantly wider heads. Initial dietary studies indicate a largely generalist and omnivorous diet, with mollusks, arthropods and fruiting plants encompassing the majority of the diet. These baseline data provide a starting point for continued long-term study on a species that may be at risk of extirpation in the coming decades. Oral and Poster Presentation Guidelines:Guidelines are fluid in terms of formatting and style, but please insure that text is limited in the case of oral presentations, and large enough to see.
