Project Title:  View help for Project Title Monitoring of repatriated and resident alligator snapping turtles (Macrochelys temminckii) in east Texas
Summary:  View help for Summary This data publication contains morphological, spatial, and environmental data collected on four repatriated and ten resident alligator snapping turtles (Macrochelys temminckii) released within the Neches drainage in Tyler and Jasper Counties of east Texas. Morphological data on alligator snapping turtles were recorded once before subsequent release. Telemetry data and microhabitat data were collected approximately weekly (i.e., 2-3 relocation per week per individual) from July 2022 to July 2024 via radiotelemetry. GPS coordinates and microhabitat data were collected at alligator snapping turtle localities and at random points.
