Northlanders could also keep an eye out for red-eared slider turtles.

Prof Grace Flannery identified them as North American freshwater terrapins, either red-eared sliders or yellow-belly sliders.

Sightings of wild turtles, especially red-eared slider turtles, have been increasing recently, forcing the Northland Regional Council to think outside the square.

We investigated variation in immune responses of adult male and female red-eared sliders (Trachemys scripta) across the entire active season.

Collectors may harvest three varieties of turtles on private land; the red-eared slider, the common snapping turtle and five types of soft-shell turtles.

This study investigated the influence of environmental manipulations during development on behavioral variation in hatchlings of the red-eared slider turtle (Trachemys scripta).

We tested the effect of fluctuating versus constant temperature incubation regimes on sex ratios and other hatchling traits for both painted and red-eared slider turtles.
