The Decline of Threatened Large River Turtle Populations due to Hydrological Regulation: A Conceptual and Mathematical Analysis With Case Studies
Large river turtles are among the most threatened freshwater vertebrates, with dam construction emerging as an important driver of sustained population decline. This paper develops a conceptual mathematical framework intended to formalize the principal ecological mechanisms linking hydrological alteration and popul...
