Snapping Turtle Research
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). Among the topics I have studied or intend during my research are:
- Breathing rate
- Locomotion
- Interspecific interactions
- Surfacing location regularity
So far, my analysis has only been finished for breathing and dive duration, between which I have found strong positive trends (for both the dive before, and after, a breath). Currently, I am hoping to analyze locomotion as a factor potentially influencing breath and dive duration, as well as its other potential implications.
