Castellano CM, Behler JL, Amato G. 2009. Genetic Diversity and population structure of the Wood Turtle (Glyptemys insculpta) at Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. Conservation Genetics. 10:1783-1788
Microsatellite markers were employed to investigate the genetic variation and population structure of G. insculpta at DEWA. Results indicate that G. insculpta at DEWA represent a single, genetically diverse management unit for conservation.
