A little on Box turtle protection

Research papers on Box Turtle subject matter and aerial photos of study area Some files are large, but all can be downloaded for later viewing. Dissertations/Thesis are included (and also on this page) but are highlighted due to the fact that, with a few exceptions, they are usually very time-limited investigations using very few turtle subjects, and contain lots of literature cites and little field-work to make conclusions.

These are Excel workbooks in Excel 97 format complete with raw data, charts, and hibernation location photos

Individual Turtle Routes by year in .SHP format for importing into a GIS or shapefile viewer. Files are zipped.
