Impact of invasive species on the western pond turtle

Impact of invasive species on the western pond turtle

To determine whether or not invasive turtles are a threat to our native species, we compared abundance of red-eared sliders and western pond turtles at three different locations: Turtle Pond on the SSU campus, Mountain Lake in San Francisco, and Roberts Lake in Rohnert Park.
