“…The wood turtle is found in eastern North America, from Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Quebec in Canada; south to northern Virginia and Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia; west through the Great Lakes region (including southern Ontario) to eastern Minnesota, northeastern Iowa, and western Pennsylvania (Bleakney 1963, Gilhen and Grantmyer 1973, Quinn and Tate 1991, Harding 1997. It may have once occurred in northeastern Ohio (Thompson 1953).…”

“…As a result, recruitment in most populations is quite low. This low recruitment must be balanced by high adult survival rates, and therefore stable populations depend on stable numbers of adults reproducing at fairly constant rates (see also Harding 1991, Harding 1997. Combining an increase in adult mortality rate (even a very small increase) with a high juvenile mortality rate can lead to rapid decline and extirpation (Congdon et al 1993(Congdon et al , 1994Compton 1999).…”

“…Thanatosis has been studied for over a century and appears in a variety of vertebrates and invertebrates. These animals include 8 amphibians (e.g., Gargaglioni et al 2001, Bertoluci et al 2007, birds (e.g., Sargeant & Eberhardt 1975;Rovee et al 1976), fish (e.g., Howe, 1991;Gibran, 2004), mammals (e.g., Francq, 1969;Kimble, 1997), reptiles (e.g., Greene, 1988;Santos et al, 2010;Burghardt & Greene, 1988;Harding, 1997), spiders (e.g., Cloudsley-Thompson, 1995), and a staggering array of insects: beetles (Chemsak & Linsley, 1970;Prohammer and Wade, 1981;Allen, 1990;Oliver, 1996;Acheampong & Mitchell, 1997;Miyatake, 2001a,b;Miyatake et al, 2004), cicada (Villet, 1999), crickets (Nishino & Sakai, 1996), lepidopterans (Tojo et al, 1985;Dudley, 1989;Larsen, 1991), mantids (Edmunds, 1972),…”

The current study provides evidence of learned helplessness in the honey bee (Apis mellifera L.). Bees received either avoidable or unavoidable shock during a discriminative compartment restriction task in an automated shuttle box. Decreased avoidance behavior was observed when bees received unavoidable shock prior to avoidable shock tests, conserving a non-preference response pattern. Prior training with avoidable shock created a preference that was conserved when shock was later unavoidable. Length of the training time impacted how pronounced the conserved behavior was in subsequent tests. Unlike existing learned helplessness studies in other animals, no decrease in general activity was observed. These findings identify honey bees as a unique model organism to explore the process of learned helplessness.v

“…although large movements have been documented, it is unknown how frequently these movements occur and what changes in the environment trigger them. Given the species' current conservation status as threatened in Nova Scotia, special concern in ontario, and declining in several states in the United States (Harding 1997;coSEWIc 2002), we recommend that future work determine the frequency and trigger for large movements and assess the risk of mortality of individuals undertaking these movements to aid recovery planning. …”

Movements of the Eastern Ribbonsnake (<em>Thamnophis sauritus</em>) in Nova Scotia

et al. 2016

The disjunct Eastern Ribbonsnake (Thamnophis sauritus) population in southwest Nova Scotia is listed as “threatened” by the committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada. A study of the movements of the species at two lakeshore locations known to support a high density of Eastern Ribbonsnakes was undertaken in 2007 and 2008. Average seasonal movements at both sites ranged from 17 m to 84 m for juvenile snakes and 21 m to 130 m for adults; one neonate was recaptured during the study after travelling 32 m. The maximum distance travelled by an individual snake was 391 m in one season. The best-fit model to explain differences in daily movement patterns included year (P = 0.041), indicating that there is annual variation in the movements of this species. Low recapture rates precluded accurate estimates of home-range size, which varied roughly from 0.16 ha to 0.78 ha. Both movements and home ranges were larger than previously documented in Nova Scotia, but maximum distances travelled were consistent with a previous study in Michigan. Most documented movements were along the lakeshore within contiguous, suitable habitat. More work is needed to understand the frequency of large movements and triggers that initiate movements, e.g., changes in water levels, habitat suitability, or prey availability.
