Nesting of Podocnemis unifilis in the Capanaparo River, Venezuela
Journal of Herpetology, 1993(Pritchard and Trebbau, 1984). Although still abundant in many lowland riverine habitats in Venezuela, including the Capanaparo River, numbers appear to be declining because the terecay is a principal human food staple during the dry season, with both eggs and turtles being consumed or sold in large quantities throughout the species range (Mittermeier,

Abstract This work analyses the influence that nest site characteristics have over natural incubation in freshwater turtles Podocnemis expansa and Podocnemis unifilis. Results indicate that neither carapace size nor weight of P. expansa hatchlings depends on environmental characteristics.

ABSTRACT Subsurface temperature variation suggests that the thermal environment of giant Amazon river turtle (Podocnemis expansa) nests is influenced by the proximity of the water table and by the nest depth. The difference between vertical temperature gradients along fluvial beaches indicates that nest placement can exert a significant influence on ...
