History of the reintroduced population of the European Pond Turtle, Emys orbicularis (L., 1758) (Emydidae), at the Betlém site, South Moravia, Czech Republic

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Between 1989 and 1994, a total of 30 (9 males, 21 females) European Pond Turtles Emys orbicularis (L., 1758), originally from the Romanian part of the Danube Delta, were gradually released into the protected Betlém wetlands, South Moravia. The site (N 48°54′23.414″, E 16°35′17.288″) is situated in the former inundation area of the Dyje River. The locality for this reintroduction was chosen primarily because this region had been inhabited by the European Pond Turtle in the 19th century. After the releases, the turtles have been systematically monitored since 1995. This is the first study to present data on how turtles have lived up to the present day. Turtles regularly reproduce in and around wetlands, enabling us to acquire a great deal of information concerning reproduction, including what is needed to place a nest, incubation success rates, predation pressure or the ways in which young spend the winter. Here, I present the first retrospective phenological and ecological data on the European Pond Turtles from the Czech Republic, where no autochthonous or other viable population of this species occurs. In 2010–2016, a total of 247 individuals were caught and tagged by making an incision in their marginal plate. All were measured, weighed and photographs were taken of the colouring on their plastron and carapace. Active measures are regularly taken to protect nests from predators in order to assure the successful survival of the population. All the obtained data show that the reintroduction process has been running successfully.
