“…Because the recapture rate of hatchlings is high it is assumed that the greatest mortality, over 90%, occurs through nest predation, predation of nestlings mov- The mortality rate was 0.15 for females, which is not significantly different from the regression slope and validates the extrapolation of the survivorship curve beyond the 1Oth yr. The higher survivorship of adult females is also supported by the raccoon predation data as well as the reduced parasitic helminth load found in adult females by Esch and Gibbons ( 1967). It suggests that reproduction and nesting do not impose a high mortality risk on females.…”

“…Although several recent ecological studies are available on the helminth communities of marine mammals, birds, fish, and amphibians (e.g., Balbuena and Raga 1993;Edwards and Bush 1989;Goater and Bush 1988;Goater et al 1987;Kennedy and Bakke 1989;Kennedy and Williams 1989;Muzzall 1991aMuzzall , 1991, very little effort has been devoted to studying the helminth communities of reptiles (Esch and Gibbons 1976;Esch e t al. 1979).…”

“…reducing the mean size of the surviving population. Studies by Esch and Gibbons (1967) on the parasites of the painted turtle (Clrtysernys picta) indicated that during hypobiosis young nematodes continue to mature but that older individuals died during the inactive period. Mature Physaloptera maxillaris in the hibernating skunk are affected similarly (Cawthorn and Anderson 1976).…”
