| Abstract |
|
Six clutches of the European pond turtle Emys orbicularis deposited on hazardous areas in central Poland were relocated in 1999 and 2000, to the nearest egg laying areas (used by other females in the same season). The eggs were moved up to 12h after laying, and were not rotated. There were no statistical significant differences in the proportion of hatched turtles from clutches relocated vs. no relocated (F 0,76 , df 1, P 0,39). However, the effectiveness of such methods for protection of the turtle populations is small, and if the larger proportion of clutches in any population were be relocated, it could have a negative effect on the turtle population.
