In Central Pennsylvania, there are areas conserved for specific species of animals. While they help said animals they may also help a non-target species which in this case was the eastern box turtle. The summer was spent tracking and marking turtles to measure their movement, social patterns, and egg-laying behaviors within three protected areas. Radio transmitter strength was also tested in three different areas and circumstances to help set a standard for tracking different species.
