This study revealed that virtually 100 per cent of the eggs at these sites were being destroyed before they could hatch. The culprit? Natural predators such as raccoons and skunks, whose populations have exploded in recent decades thanks to food and shelter they find at campsites and cottages.<\/p>\n<p>In response, researcher Ryan Bolton evaluated a variety of methods to protect turtle nests, including caging individual nests, relocating them to large predator-proof enclosures and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.qa.caordan.com\/blog\/glossary\/artificially-incubating\/\">artificially incubating<\/a>\u00a0them in a lab setting.<\/p>\n<p>When Ryan\u2019s project ended in 2011, we supported research and recovery efforts led by former\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/fr\/recovery-action\/canadasnewnoahs\/\">Programme No\u00e9 du Canada<\/a>\u00a0Dr. Christina Davy through 2017. To protect turtle nests from over-predation, Dr. Davy and her team use artificial incubation, which ensures the highest possible rate of hatchling production.<\/p>\n<p>To measure the success of these efforts, they permanently mark all hatchlings before releasing them back into the wild, and continue to monitor the populations through trapping and nesting surveys. This is a long-term endeavor, as some turtle species take up to twenty years to reach sexual maturity.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the ongoing turtle nest protection program, Dr. Davy has examined the conservation genetics of spotted, snapping and softshell turtles in Ontario, creating insights that will help us better manage and recover these species.<\/p>\n<p>From 2013-17, the project team also tracked eastern foxsnakes using\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/fr\/blog\/glossary\/radio-telemetry\/\">radio telemetry<\/a>\u00a0to learn more about how they use habitat and select hibernation sites within a human-modified environment. The team also investigated the distribution of snake fungal disease, an emerging threat to snake populations in north-eastern North America. In 2015 Dr. Davy began identifying critical breeding habitat for the Fowler\u2019s toad and assessing the impacts of erosion and invasive phragmites reeds in these sensitive areas.<\/p>\n<p>Going forward, we are evaluating the need for hands-on intervention to help these species at other sites in the region, and assessing the feasibility of taking action to help other species such as the small-mouthed salamander and the\u00a0<a class=\"glossaryLink\" href=\"https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/fr\/blog\/glossary\/extirpated\/\" data-cmtooltip=\"(XT) A wildlife species that no longer exists in the wild in Canada, but exists elsewhere.\">disparue<\/a>\u00a0Blanchard\u2019s cricket frog.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-lf33792b-dca1df26b4d30729ff939a8afc85a9ce'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-2' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-2' class='toggler  av-title-above av-inherit-border-color'  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-2' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"Results\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: Results\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: Results\">Results<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-2' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-2' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color av-inherit-border-color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>As of fall 2017, our intervention had resulted in over 13,000 Blanding\u2019s, spiny softshell, northern map, and snapping turtle hatchlings being saved and released into Lake Erie, while scientists working in the program have added to the overall body of conservation knowledge by routinely publishing research papers. Ryan Bolton\u2019s study showed that each nest protection method he tested has its strengths and weaknesses, but all have a positive impact. While artificial incubation is the most costly method, it ensures the highest possible survival rate. Meanwhile, Dr. Davy has developed new genetic markers for snapping and softshell turtles, which have helped define the population structure and important management units for these species in Ontario.<\/p>\n<p>The eastern foxsnake radio-tracking study allowed us to observe previously undocumented diving and mud-bathing behaviour, and to track shifting hotspots in road mortality. Our study population is affected by snake fungal disease (SFD), thus providing an opportunity to add to our understanding of the true impacts of this disease on a wild population.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-lf337jj6-b02298ffa3cd389c6d4175218743a364'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-3' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-3' class='toggler  av-title-above av-inherit-border-color'  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-3' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"Impact\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: Impact\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: Impact\">Impact<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-3' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-3' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color av-inherit-border-color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Our nest protection effort addressed the single biggest threat to turtles along the shores of Lake Erie: nest predation. By ensuring that new generations of turtles hatch, we\u2019ve helped secure a future for these species.<\/p>\n<p>Although it will be many years before our rescued hatchlings reach breeding age, population monitoring has already shown that they can survive in the wild. Survey efforts have also increased surveillance in the area, protecting the spotted turtle population from one of its greatest risks: poaching for the pet trade.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, Dr. Davy\u2019s molecular markers now allow law enforcement to identify the origin of illegally poached and traded turtles, contributing to efforts to combat these illegal activities. Her insights into the landscape-scale genetic structure of several turtle species have helped to prioritize areas for applied conservation approaches that increase connectivity, such as wildlife corridors and translocations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-lf338102-5865ac62a0ea505b552604da216909d3'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-4' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-4' class='toggler  av-title-above av-inherit-border-color'  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-4' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"Publications\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: Publications\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: Publications\">Publications<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-4' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-4' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color av-inherit-border-color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Catrysse, J., E.
