Sonora Mud Turtles and non-native turtles, Montezuma Well, Yavapai County, Arizona, 1983 - 2015

These data were compiled as part of an ecological study of Sonora Mud Turtles and their interaction with non-native turtles at Montezuma Well in Yavapai County, Arizona. The data consist of observations and measurements of individual turtles captured during the study, and support analyses of population size and trends, general condition and health of the turtles, and female reproduction. Principal investigators for the study were Phil Rosen (1983 data), Matthew Malone and Steve Garber (1999 data) and Jeff Lovich and Charles Drost (data from 2007 through 2015). This dataset provides detailed capture data, measurements, and female reproductive status for the Sonora Mud Turtle population at Montezuma Well, which should be useful for comparisons with future studies of this same population, with other populations of Sonora Mud Turtles in other parts of the species' range, and with other turtle species.

本数据集汇编自亚利桑那州亚瓦派县蒙特苏马井（Montezuma Well）开展的索诺拉泥龟（Sonora Mud Turtle）生态学研究及其与外来龟类相互作用的相关课题。数据集包含本研究中捕获的单只龟类的观测记录与实测数据，可支撑种群规模与动态趋势、龟类整体健康状况以及雌性繁殖特征等相关分析。本研究的首席研究员分别为：菲尔·罗森（负责1983年数据）、马修·马龙与史蒂夫·加伯（负责1999年数据），以及杰夫·洛维奇与查尔斯·德罗斯特（负责2007年至2015年的相关数据）。本数据集提供了蒙特苏马井索诺拉泥龟种群的详细捕获记录、实测数据以及雌性繁殖状态信息，可用于该种群后续研究的对比分析、该物种分布范围内其他索诺拉泥龟种群的对照研究，以及与其他龟类物种的相关研究对比。
