Survival In Common Snapping Turtles, Chelydra Serpentina (Testudines: Chelydridae), In Western Nebraska, John B. Iverson, Geoffrey R. Smith Jan 2023

Survival In Common Snapping Turtles, Chelydra Serpentina (Testudines: Chelydridae), In Western Nebraska, John B. Iverson, Geoffrey R. Smith

Faculty Publications

Annual estimates of survival for Common Snapping Turtles (Chelydra serpentina) in western Nebraska USA were generated from mark-recapture data from nesting females encountered in 2005–2017. Our population models suggested no annual variation in either adult annual survival (0.947 ± 0.017 SE) or annual capture probability (0.294 ± 0.027 SE). However, there was a tendency toward higher survival in larger females. High annual survival (e.g. > 90%) characterises populations of Chelydra from Ontario to Texas.
