Sites we sampled (Google Earth, 2021, Landsat/ Copernicus). Each point indicates a location where traps were placed (one point often represents multiple traps). The "Mississippi Delta" region of the Mississippi Alluvial Valley can distinctly be seen in the top left two-thirds of the map. This area is flat, contains numerous old river channels, and has largely been converted to agricultural fields.

... The location of the six turtles captured in 1966-1967 was reported simply as a "drainage ditch near Belzoni." Therefore, we deployed traps in two bodies of water around Belzoni, as well as multiple bodies of water at the Panther Swamp National Wildlife Refuge (NWR; between Belzoni and the 1969 record), and Morgan Brake NWR (east of Belzoni; Fig. 1). Although the duration of the survey was short, we deployed many traps, resulting in a total of 269 trap-nights (Table 1). This level of effort exceeds the level required to detect D. r. miaria in our Oklahoma and Arkansas surveys. For example, during standardized surveys in May 2012 and May 2013 at two Oklahoma beaver ponds (2.05 and ...
