Impact of nest‐site selection on nest success and nest temperature in natural and disturbed habitats

2002-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Nest‐site selection behavior is a maternal effect that contributes to offspring survival and variation in offspring phenotypes that are subject to natural selection. We investigated nest‐site selection and its consequences in the snapping turtle, Chelydra serpentina, in northwestern Illinois. We evaluated nest‐site selection at both the microhabitat and habitat patch levels. Turtles selected nest sites with shorte...
