Implication

Multi-site ecological survey reveals a positive relationship between urbanization and mature female painted turtle proportions, suggesting altered nesting thermal environments.

Key Points

To determine whether landscape-scale urbanization negatively correlates with the proportions of adult female and immature freshwater turtles.
Conducted a collaborative multi-institution sampling effort across 11 states in the central and eastern United States through the Ecological Research as Education Network (EREN).
Evaluated population demographic structures of freshwater turtles, focusing on mature female Chrysemys picta and immature individuals across varying urbanization gradients.
Identified a statistically significant positive relationship between the proportion of mature female painted turtles (Chrysemys picta) and increasing urbanization.
Detected no statistically significant relationship between landscape urbanization and the proportion of immature turtles.
