Snapping Turtle Research

Ograbme the Snapping Turtle. More vicious than all other snapping turtles. Crittercammers beware!

I am a second-semester Honors sophomore in EEB, and I work with Tobias Landberg on a research project concerning snapping turtles based on footage from Crittercam (see the snapping turtle research team page for more info). Also, for more information on Crittercam itself, visit http://www.nationalgeographic.com/crittercam/ There's a lot to learn from the endless hours of footage collected, and I hope to have some solid conclusions soon.

Right now, I've finished analyzing breathing rates for Jawless and Lafayette, as well as my locomotion research with the Snippy data (which means I'm about to start the Jawless/Lafayette data for locomotion). I'm seeing many statistical trends, and will post information when I've got more statistically-tested data. Until then, I will still be analyzing and potentially collecting data on the following topics during my research:

  • Breathing rate
  • Locomotion
  • Interspecific interactions
  • Surfacing location regularity


I will also come up with more ideas as I go, and will post these soon.
