The Reproductive Biology of the Diamondback Terrapin, Malaclemys Terrapin Tequesta
@inproceedings{Seigel1979TheRB, title={The Reproductive Biology of the Diamondback Terrapin, Malaclemys Terrapin Tequesta}, author={Richard A. Seigel}, year={1979} }
The reproductive biology of the Florida east coast terrapin, }!alaclemys terrapin tequesta was studied during 1977-1978 at the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, Brevard County, Florida. Mating occurred in small canals and ditches during late March and April. Terrapins exhibited a poorly developed courtship behavior system: this \vas attributed to the relative isolation of the species due to its brackish water habitat. Nesting occurred on dike roads, rather than on sand dunes as reported…

The data suggest that translocation of eggs or head starting of terrapins within estuaries or among adjacentEstuaries is acceptable from a genetic standpoint, and past human activities may have drastically altered the genetics of current populations.

Occurrence and Effects of Barnacle Infestations on Diamondback Terrapins (Malaclemys terrapin)
- Environmental Science
- 1983
The occurrence and effects of barnacle infestations on two populations of diamondback terrapins were studied from 1977 to 1979 and it is suggested that barnacles infesting turtles be considered as parasites, rather than commensals.

Hatchling diamondback terrapins were studied in 1974 on Little Beach Island, New Jersey and hatchlings emerging from nests on flat sand areas showed no compass orientation, while those emerging on sloping dunes moved downward.
