Here, we summarize the biology and habits of the Western Pond Turtle (Actinemys marmorata) to provide a framework for studies of its biological features and a foundation to address sampling issues. It is vital to understand the biology of a species before attempting to conduct field surveys, undertake population studies, or manage populations for long-term viability. Our biological information is from our collective knowledge as well as scientific papers and some unpublished reports. We cite references only for specific statements.
