Abstract - Macrochelys temminckii (Alligator Snapping Turtle) is classified as a species of moderate conservation concern by the State of Alabama and is proposed for listing as threatened under the Endangered Species Act by the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Using the most up-to-date and best available distribution and biological data is paramount in the decision-making process for any petitioned or proposed-listed species. We provide an additional 21 Alligator Snapping Turtle records from Alabama collected as bycatch during fishery surveys. We incidentally captured 19 Alligator Snapping Turtles from the Alabama (n = 12), Tombigbee (n = 6), and Conecuh (n = 1) rivers and observed 2 additional specimens from the Tallapoosa River drainage. For both the Alabama and Tombigbee rivers combined, 89% of our Alligator Snapping Turtle captures were in backwater areas (i.e., off channel), which are new location records in these river drainages. Researchers and managers should consider contacting and collaborating with colleagues across scientific disciplines to compile and provide the best available data for current species assessments.

Abstract - Texas contains the southwestern range edge of Macrochelys temminckii (Alligator Snapping Turtle), but there is relatively little published information on this species within the state. To document its range and assess temporal changes in its distribution and demography, we sampled 23 sites from 1999 to 2001. We then resurveyed 22 of these sites and sampled 29 additional sites in 2020–2021. Detection outcomes were consistent between 18 of the 22 resurveyed sites. Sex ratios and body-size distributions were similar across surveys. Catch per unit effort (CPUE) was lower in areas with trotlines, corroborating known interactions between turtles and fishing gear. Patterns in CPUE indicate Gulf of Mexico-draining watersheds are important systems for the species, while CPUE was lower in Mississippi-draining watersheds.

Abstract - We report nest success for 16 Alligator Snapping Turtle nests oviposited at Black Bayou Lake National Wildlife Refuge in 2008 and 2009. We split each clutch into 2 portions for field and laboratory incubation. The field portion was protected from mammalian depredation. For each nest, we report both pipping and hatching success. Our total observed levels of pipping and hatching success were 55.9% and 47.7%, respectively. We obtained a hatching success rate of 85.8% in the lab. Reasons for the difference in hatching success between the field and lab included both abiotic and biotic factors in the nest environment, such as flooding, temperature, and invertebrate predators.

Abstract - Alligator snapping turtles (genus Macrochelys) are the largest freshwater turtles in North America. Despite strong interest in their conservation, we still lack a comprehensive understanding of their natural history, including behaviors associated with terrestrial activity. We reviewed the literature and solicited unpublished observations of terrestrial movements of these highly aquatic turtles. We compiled 206 observations of terrestrial activity from 9 states. The majority of observations were associated with nesting behavior. Observations expanded our knowledge regarding the spatial extent and timing of terrestrial movements and the nesting season. In addition, we compiled observations of terrestrially foraging animals, as well as males and juveniles traveling overland and crossing roads. Collectively, this information clarifies the extent of terrestrial movement by Macrochelys, behaviors that should be considered in conservation plans.

Abstract - Macrochelys suwanniensis (Suwannee Alligator Snapping Turtle) coexists with 2 other native large omnivorous turtle species (Chelydra serpentina [Snapping Turtle] and Trachemys scripta scripta [Yellow-bellied Slider]) in a 9-km section of the Santa Fe River in northern Florida. A major shift in dominant submersed aquatic vegetation prompted us to quantify trophic position and niche overlap among these 3 species. Here, we examine carbon and nitrogen isotopic values of these turtles and their potential food resources within the changing riverine system. We provide evidence of low isotopic niche overlap between M. suwanniensis and C. serpentina, whereas T. s. scripta occupied a discrete niche having lower carbon and nitrogen values.
摘要/ Abstract摘要:在佛罗里达州北部圣菲河9公里的河段内,Macrochelys suwanniensis (Suwannee短吻鳄鳄龟)与另外两种本土大型杂食性龟(Chelydra serpentina[鳄龟]和Trachemys scripta scripta[黄腹滑龟])共存。由于优势水生植被的重大变化,我们对这3个物种的营养位置和生态位重叠进行了量化。在这里,我们研究了这些海龟的碳和氮同位素值及其在不断变化的河流系统中的潜在食物资源。我们提供的证据表明,苏万尼石竹和蛇形石竹之间存在低同位素生态位重叠,而scripta则占据了一个碳氮值较低的离散生态位。

Abstract - We studied nesting ecology and sex determination in a population of Macrochelys temminckii (Alligator Snapping Turtle) inhabiting the lower Apalachicola River in western Florida. During 1990–1991, we located 105 nests (63 intact, 42 depredated); 83% occurred on prominent dredged spoil substrates. Coupled with data from additional years, mean clutch size of 130 nests was 35.1 (min–max = 17–52). Most nesting occurred from 20 April to 18 May, with about a week annual variation. Hatching extended throughout August. In nests that we protected from predators, hatching success averaged 78% (24 nests) in 1990 and 66% (26 nests) in 1991. Overall sex ratios were roughly 1 male: 2 females, although individual nests varied from all males to all females in conjunction with solar exposure.

Abstract - Macrochelys temminckii (Alligator Snapping Turtle) has experienced historical harvesting pressures that impact a number of current populations. Filling distribution gaps and obtaining demographic data can better inform conservation and management. We summarized multi-year samples targeting the Alligator Snapping Turtle in large river systems and major tributaries of Alabama. Although catch per unit effort was lower than observed in other states, we filled distribution gaps in several river systems. Though studies from other states documented effects of historical harvesting pressure on Alligator Snapping Turtle populations, mean adult mass of both sexes, mean carapace length, and capture ratio of adults to immatures suggested reduced pressures in Alabama and possible population stability. Nevertheless, smaller tributaries and creeks need to be surveyed for previously undetected populations with mark–recapture and movement studies.

Abstract - Macrochelys temminckii (Alligator Snapping Turtle) were commercially harvested for consumption, and Louisiana was the last state to ban this commerce. There are no demographic studies on healthy populations within the state. We conducted trapping surveys at Black Bayou Lake National Wildlife Refuge near Monroe, LA, from 2004 to 2020. We captured 90 individual Alligator Snapping Turtles over 17 years. We compared survey data between the 2004–2005 survey period and the 2019–2020 survey period to estimate changes in demography. We found the population to be stable, but the low number of juveniles captured raises concerns for the future of the population. Continued monitoring is recommended to evaluate the stability of the population.

Abstract - Understanding population demographics of Macrochelys temminckii (Alligator Snapping Turtle) requires long-term studies. Most previous studies do not provide demographic population data. We conducted a mark–recapture study of M. temminckii inhabiting Buffalo Bayou in Harris County, TX, from October 2016 through August 2021. We captured 110 unique individuals during 465 trap nights and recorded 45 recaptures. We generated 8 biological metrics. Capture per unit effort varied from 0.267 to 0.547 turtles per trap-night, the population estimate was 173 turtles (95% CI:138–250), the sex ratio was 1.00 M:1.28 F, and density and biomass estimates were 4.43 turtles/river km and 89.9 kg/km, respectively. Given that anthropogenic risks to this urban population may increase, continued monitoring and research is warranted.
