L’objectif du Plan National d’Actions 2020-2029 en faveur de la Cistude d’Europe est la conservation de l’espèce. Ce document, dont la réalisation a été confiée à la Société Herpétologique de France par la DREAL Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, a été rédigé entre avril 2018 et novembre 2019. Il est le fruit d’un travail concerté entre acteurs de la conservati...
The processes underlying macroecological gradients in body size are widely debated, in part because their intraspecific variability remains poorly described even in well-studied taxa such as vertebrates. In this study, we investigated how climate, habitat, genetic lineage and sex explain body size variations in French populations of the European po...
1. Most studies on the effect of drought on the biodiversity of freshwater systems have focussed on
natural droughts. We sought to assess the effects of artificial drainage on the population dynamics of
the European pond turtle (Emys orbicularis). We investigated whether the probability of survival and
emigration/immigration was affected by short-t...
The impact of fishing on Emys orbicularis was studied by radiotracking and capturing in two wild populations in the Department of Isère (France) from 2000 to 2002. One population occurs in a totally protected pond and the other is distributed over a pond complex frequented by approximately 2,500 anglers per year for recreational fishing. X-rays of...
The European pond turtle (Emys orbicularis) is considered as an umbrella species for nature conservation. Its biological cycle requires the conservation of both aquatic and terrestrial habitats. In order to design efficient management actions for an endangered species a solid knowledge of the biological and ecological requirements is needed. To ach...
Ten Emys orbicularis were radiotracked once per week during the winter 2000/2001 and ten new individuals during the winter 2001/2002. We observed that turtles concentrate in a small area for hibernation, usually in shallow water. In both winters the same water body was used, and some turtles migrated over considerable distances to reach their hiber...
