We investigated the effects of exogenous corticosterone on the locomotor activity of captive red-eared slider turtles, Trachemys scripta elegans. An increase in plasma corticosterone often increases locomotor activity in mammals and birds, but there are no reported findings for turtles. In this stud
Red-eared sliders (Trachemys scripta) in their northern range undergo hibernation at temperatures of about 5°C, which may result in a profound bradycardia and a drop in blood pressure leading to very slow blood flows. Blood viscosity increases with decreasing temperature and at low shear rates asso
