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

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 Â 15 m) enclosed with a drift fence integrated with springtriggered livetraps. The experime
## Abstract In the red‐eared slider turtle, __Trachemys scripta__, both prospective male and female gonads contain primitive cord structures at the time when the gonad first forms. Primordial germ cells arrive in the gonad and accumulate on the coelomic surface. If testis development is initiated,
