Abstract

Average clutch size of Chrysemys picta in SE Michigan was 7.55, with body size accounting for only 9-13% of the variance. From 30-50% of the females possibly do not reproduce every year, but c.6% reproduce twice in a given year. Predation within 48 h of egg- laying is responsible for the failure of 20% of the nests. An additional 12% nest failure is due to other causes.-from Authors
