	note = {How does an animal determine the best environment in which to live?  Sedentary animals have no choice.  Migratory animals have a wide range of options, and have a wide scale of choices.  It turns out that the question of scale is important in determining the distribution of the western pond turtle, an animal that has limited mobility.  There is an interplay of multiple factors at work.  This article reports on a 1999-2000 survey of western pond turtles in the Umpqua River Basin. Important factors included levels of solar radiation, location of ponds, pond size, and area of nearby wetlands.  The South Umpqua turned out to have the most turtles in the river, and the most turtles in nearby ponds. This is an open-access publication.},
