Movement and activity patterns are important aspects of the ecology and conservation of any organism. Among turtles, data on the behavioral ecology of hatchling stages are lacking. To increase our knowledge of hatchling turtles, I tracked 20 hatchling gopher tortoises (Gopherus polyphemus) for up to 335 days after hatching to determine movement patterns, refugia use, microhabitat use, and home range size.
