Welcome
Neil to the Turtle Lab at Missouri State University! Neil comes to
us from Ohio. Neil will be
studying melanism in male red-eared slider turtles, Trachemys scripta
elegans. Specifically, he will be quantifying melanism using
digital photography and imaging software, and conducting behavior
experiments to see if there is correlation between melanism and
dominance behavior. Neil plans on capturing the turtles from Lake
Springfield, Missouri and conducting his research from April to October,
2006. |
