“…The extent to which water velocity influences habitat selection by freshwater turtles is little known (but see Reese & Welsh 1998;Donner-Wright et al 1999;Tucker et al 2001). The model explored here of micro-habitat selection based on energetic costs of position-holding was originally applied in studies of stream-dwelling fish.…”

“…Impacts of river regulation may be complex (Bodie, 2001) because freshwater turtles use both aquatic and terrestrial habitats during their life cycle and can be highly vagile in both water and on land (Roe & Georges, 2008;Buhlmann et al, 2009). River turtles can be habitat specialists and maintain discrete home ranges when they rely on some particular features of the habitat, such as riffle zones (Tucker et al, 2001). Other species undergo large migrations to breed or forage (Fachín-Teránet, Vogt & Thorbjarnarson, 2006;Seminoff & Jones, 2006).…”

“…However, Australian turtles are poorly researched and often neglected in terms of riverine management (Tucker 1999). Large-scale habitat modification associated with water infrastructure development has caused concern for restricted, specialised Australian river turtles such as Elseya spp.…”

“…Large-scale habitat modification associated with water infrastructure development has caused concern for restricted, specialised Australian river turtles such as Elseya spp. (''Conservation Concern'', Queensland Government: Hamann et al 2007) and the monotypic Rheodytes leukops (''Vulnerable' ', IUCN 2010: Tucker et al 2001 and Elusor macrurus (''Endangered' ', IUCN 2010: Clark et al 2009). Although impoundments are also likely to present barriers to contemporary freshwater turtle migration, there is little current data on population genetic structure and connectivity for most freshwater turtle species, and consequently, potential evolutionary impacts of anthropogenic reduced dispersal cannot be assessed.…”
