About the book

"North American Box Turtles is the first book-length natural history of the twelve species and subspecies of the terrestrial box turtle. It includes comprehensive information on the species' systematics, evolution, habitat use and activity patterns, behavior, courtship and reproduction, diet, population structure, and disease. Each chapter discusses conservation applications as well as the need for long-term data, monitoring, and viewing box turtles within a landscape context." "Special features of this book include: color photos of all species and subspecies and habitats; a simplified identification guide to both living and fossil species; a summary of information on fossil Terrapene and Native uses of box turtles; end-of-chapter sections that highlight future research directions; a glossary of general natural history terms; and a bibliography of literature on box turtles."--Jacket.
