In many species of reptiles, sex is determined by the incubation temperature of the egg. In the red-eared slider turtle (Trachemys scripta), warm incubation temperatures produce females, cool ones produce males, and a narrow range of intermediate temperatures produces both sexes. The mechanism of se
The effect of the simulated drying of a pond on the behavior and corticosterone secretion of Trachemys scripta was measured in a field situation. Slider turtles were held in experimental and control ponds (12 Γ 15 m) enclosed with a drift fence integrated with springtriggered livetraps. The experime
