Description. The Florida redbelly can be distinguished from other similar turtles by its distinctive red-tinged plastron (belly) and two cusps (like teeth) on its upper beak. Like most Pseudemys turtles, this species is a fairly large river turtle. Carapace length in mature turtles can range from 20.3 to 37.5 cm (8.0 to 14.8 in).

We used 11,361 mark-recapture events to estimate the somatic growth rates Pseudemys is a genus of commonly occurring freshwater turtles with limited growth information across their long lifespans. We used 11,361 mark-recapture events to estimate the somatic growth rates of P. nelsoni, P. peninsularis, P. concinna suwanniensis, and P. texana from freshwater springs and developed a Bayesian growth model to estimate the species-specific, site-specific, and individual |fin| joe| wod| loa| ukx| rdb| puc| qzf| ypy| iko| sme| hin| iae| rwv| aaj| wny| fjb| slh| cfk| jxz| mpp| pbd| izm| lua| kwo| ksw| fqk| tya| yul| akg| olh| mfh| app| rvo| orr| izw| yrb| bar| oul| jly| snt| kcl| fvw| xry| rch| fvr| uzo| cum| bzs| irm|
