Irwin's Turtle
http://bdtnrm.org.au/bio/bio/pgm/bio/turtle/irwins_turtle.html
E. irwini was named by scientists in the 1990s, and is known only from the Broken River and tributaries downstream of Eungella Dam through to the Burdekin River. A James Cook University research team, headed by Dr. Ivan Lawler, are studying the turtles. The turtles are captured, transmitters attached and statistical information about their diet and biology is recorded. The team will be returning regularly to the field to track the movement patterns of the nesting females and to identify key nesting sites. By assessing the physical characteristics of these key nesting sites, we will gain a better understanding of the responses of the species to habitat modification. The team will also be monitoring nesting success and survival of hatchlings, and identifying reasons for low juvenile recruitment.
