- W2740804572 abstract "Populations of Diamond-backed Terrapins (Malaclemys terrapin) are declining throughout their range as a result of habitat degradation, urbanization, incidental trapping, and predation. Large populations of Terrapins still live in the Hudson River Bight (HRB), a large estuary mostly within the political borders of New York City, the second largest city in the world. Two centuries of intensive urbanization, pollution, and dredging have resulted in dramatic changes to HRB shorelines and marshes. Proximity to the city has also increased Terrapin harvest rates in the past and urbanization currently subsidizes predators. Gateway National Recreation Area (GNRA) is a relatively new U.S. National Park within HRB that protects essential Terrapin habitat. We studied distribution of and predation rates on Terrapin nests at the three management units of the GNRA: heavily urbanized Staten Island Unit (SIU), less urbanized Jamaica Bay Unit (JBU), and least urbanized Sandy Hook Unit (SHU). The Terrapin population at SIU appears to be extirpated. JBU Terrapins nest on the mainland coast and on three islands. Approximately 20 nests are deposited annually on two of these islands, predation is low, and about 300 hatchlings are produced. Approximately 2000 Terrapin nests are laid annually on the largest JBU island (Ruler's Bar Hassock), but 95% of these are predated by Raccoons (Procyon lotor). Over 92% of nests were predated at SHU despite relatively low levels of human disturbance. We conclude that human-induced habitat changes affect Terrapin nesting success even at low levels of urbanization because these changes result in high levels of subsidized predators such as Raccoons, Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus), and gulls (Larus atricilla and L. argentatus)." @default.
