Cover Story: Rio Grande Cooters (Pseudemys gorzugi) are large, riverine turtles that only occur in the Rio Grande watershed of the southwestern United States and northeastern Mexico. Ecological studies have indicated that these turtles move very little, with maximum movements being recorded at 300 m. Genetic data for the species suggested connectivity between populations at distances that were much larger than previously observed movements. We collected GPS-enabled telemetry data over an average span of ~1.4 years from five females and three males. We observed that the maximum movement in P. gorzugi from our study was over 100-fold larger than previous estimates of maximal movement. Future efforts to restore natural flow regimes in the Rio Grande basin could potentially be the most effective means to conserve this unique turtle. View this paper
