Juvenile proportion as a predictor of freshwater turtle population change

Abstract: The extreme longevity of turtles and tortoises can make it difficult to determine the conservation status of their populations because high annual adult survival may mask gradual attrition due to low levels of recruitment. When long‐term demographic trends are unknown and available data are insufficient for population modelling, it may be assumed that a scarcity of juveniles indicates low recruitment that will result in population ageing and numerical decline. However, the reliability with which the proportion… Show more

“…To address declines in Australian freshwater turtles and ensure their persistence for future generations, research (Chessman, Dillon, et al, 2023; Chessman, Fielder, et al, 2023; Coleman, 2023; Kidman et al, 2023; McKnight, 2023; McKnight et al, This issue; Nordberg & McKnight, 2023; Van Dyke et al, This issue) and conservation actions (Campbell et al, 2023; Streeting et al, 2023; Terry et al, 2023) are ongoing. However, compared to many other taxa, freshwater turtles have received less focus and funding in Australia (Gawne et al, 2020).…”
