Drivers of Thermal Habitat Use in Turtles Studied Under Semi-Natural Conditions. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We quantify thermal habitat use in nine turtle species by recording environmental temperatures experienced by individuals in semi‐natural settings. Thermal habitat use differed among species and higher temperatures were generally used by larger animals, pointing to behavioral mechanisms that may influence species responses to environmental change. This
