southwestern pond turtle, invasives removal, restoration, biota, inlandWaters
The US Geological Survey in conjunction with the San Diego Zoological Society and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) have continued the work done on the southwestern pond turtle by USGS in 2002 to 2005 within the Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP) area. Specifically, we have begun to enhance and restore the population at the Sycuan Peak Ecological Reserve (SPER) as this is the largest population within the MSCP but has little or no recruitment. Southwestern pond turtles (and other native aquatic species) are heavily impacted by invasive (weedy) species in the riparian habitat which include bullfrogs, largemouth bass, sunfish, crayfish and exotic turtles. Much like invasive plants, these aquatic invasives can spread throughout the riparian areas and directly impact the natives through predation and also indirectly through competition. Similar to revegetation efforts, successful pond turtle restoration efforts include removal of invasives and headstarting of the native turtles.
This data set includes the results of surveys for invasive species and southwestern pond turtle monitoring in support of restoration efforts along the Sweetwater River in Sycuan Peak Ecological Reserve.
