The yellow-margined box turtle (Cuora flavomarginata) is a relatively terrestrial freshwater turtle. Because of the rising pet trade requirement and Chinese medicine need, survival of the species is now under heavy pressure. Cuora flavomarginata inhabits mainly low elevation secondary forests, but is not easily spotted except after rains. Our aims are to understand the distribution of C. flavomarginata from past to future, and seek potential areas for protecting the species. We collected 424 actual presence localities of C. flavomarginata using field interviewing, trapping, and museum record in 2010 – 2011. Three species distribution modeling (SDM) methods (environmental niche factor analysis, ENFA; genetic algorithm for rule-set prediction, GARP; maximum entropy, MaxEnt) were used to predict the potential range of the species. Seven environmental factors were selected to conduct the prediction. Area under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) was used to test the accuracy of the models. The AUC value of the models ranged from 0.83 – 0.9, indicating that all the models have good predictive power. The results indicate that most of the predictive presence area of the species is not under protection currently. In addition, I conducted distribution status for the species from the last glacial age to future by global circulation modeling (GCMs). The results shows that the suitable area in the last glacial maximum (LGM) were concentrated in the southern part of Taiwan, and the number of suitable area increase from LGM to 2050, but would decrease from 2050 to 2080 to higher elevations. These results provide a basis for conservation management plans, such as strengthening the law enforcement in areas with high distribution probabilities instead of setting up a new conservation area.

The yellow-margined box turtle (Cuora flavomarginata） is an endangered species,inhabiting in the East Asia. It is threatened by two major factors: capture for pet and food,habitat loss and fragmentation. Anesthesia in tortoises may be challenging because intravenous access is difficult and induction with inhaled anesthetic agents may be impeded by breath-holding. Dexmedetomidine (DEX） is an α2 receptor agonist that is used for muscle relaxation,and analgesic properties, whose effects are reversible with the α2 antagonists such as atipamezole or yohibime. DEX which is the dextrorotatory enantiomer of medetomidine, is the active component that has actual clinical effects, and has taken the place of medetomidine in veterinary clinical practice. Because DEX is a newly developed medicine in veterinary medicine, the study of the effects of reptiles is scare. Medetomidine has sedative and analgesic properties, and has been used for intramuscular sedation in several chelonian species including the desert tortoise and for anesthesia in combination with ketamine in red-eared sliders. Because of the unique anatomic structures, there are several limits while dealing with C. flavomarginata. This study is to seek a proper dosage of DEX for sedation of C. flavomarginata . Results of this study shows that, intramuscular administration of DEX in C. flavomarginata provides mild sedation effect with reduction of muscle tone and light analgesia, the depth of sedation is not enough for wound care or surgery, if making more invasive medical procedure, DEX should be used in combination with other anesthesia such as opioids, morphine, ketamine or alfaxalone.

Taiwan’s five native tortoise include the Yellow-Margined Box Turtle (Cuora Flavomarginata),Chinemys reevesii ,Mauremys mutica yellow pond turtle,Ocadia sinensis and the Pelodiscus sinensis,Among them,the Yellow-Margined Box Turtle (Cuora Flavomarginata) was listed as the second-class rare and precious conservation wild animal by the Forestry Bureau of the Council of Agriculture,The current Wildlife Conservation Act expressly provides,No Hunting, Buying, Selling, Exporting or importing without the consent of the competent authorities. In view of the open exchanges between the two sides of the strait and the market demand,in the past ten years, he native species of Yellow-Margined Box Turtle (Cuora Flavomarginata) in Taiwan have been illegally poached,traded, and eventually smuggled into the mainland,becoming victims of cross-strait exchanges. Due to the lagrge number of smuggling and outbound phenomena, the native species of conservation Yellow-Margined Box Turtle (Cuora Flavomarginata) in Taiwan face the fate of extinction. How to effectively eliminate illegal poaching, sale, and even smuggling out of the country,from the study of the causes of hunting,buying and selling and market demand,as well as the smuggling methods and division of labor, to explore the impact of the current law on investigative authorities’ investigative practice. This study uses in-depth interviews to understand the causes of illegal poaching, trading, and the seriousness of smuggling.After the study,it was discovered that the concept of pubic protection needs to be strengthened, the existing laws and regulations should be amended in due course so as to increase the investigative capacity of investigation organs, and the court’s reasonable trials, so as to effectively block the successful smuggling of conservation-class Yellow-Margined Box Turtle (Cuora Flavomarginata), so that Taiwan’s native species can be conserved Yellow-Margined Box Turtles(Cuora Flavomarginata) thrive on this land.

Yellow-margined box turtles are the second level protected animals in the CITE, and is also law-protected specific animals in Taiwan. Compare to the other species, little was known of this species. The yellow-margined box turtles sexual matured when they were reached 280g in males, 400g in females or the carapace length got over 11cm in both sex. Mating behavior may occur from May to September, and the nesting season starts from late-May to September. Most nesting occur in July and August. Ultrasound examination is a noninvasive and safe technique, frequently used in evaluating the reproductive system. But in reptiles, there is no clear and consistent criterion to evaluate the nesting and ovulation time. By observing the species that is establish the completely reproductive cycle by ultrasonography, follicle diameter can be used for evaluated the reproductive period. But the diameter may be different between species. According to previous studies, ultrasonography is more accurate and reliable than radiography and laparoscopy in chelonians. There is also studies of reproductive cycle in yellow-margined box turtles by ultrasonography. Our hypothesis is “the follicular characteristics in ultrasonography are associated with the reproductive cycle” as we found different types of follicles in previous ultrasound examination. Thirty kept yellow-margined box turtles were chosen in this study, with ultrasound examination for a year. The results showed 5 types of follicle such as homogenous follicles, inhomogenous follicles, miniature follicles, multi-layered follicles and atretic follicles. The multi-layered follicles may associated with the ovulation and the number of the different follicles were associated with the reproductive cycle, except homogenous follicles. There is no examination associated and it needs further examination proven.

The yellow-margined box turtles (Cuora flavomarginata: Geoemydidae), distributed widely in lowland area of Taiwan in the past, are now threatened by human exploitation and are rare. However, its distribution, population size, habitats, and activity pattern in southern Taiwan are only anecdotes. In this study, movement patterns, home range, habitat utilization, and daily activity patterns of C. flavomarginata were studied by trailing the turtles with thread cocoons in Nanjenshan Reserve in southern Taiwan. The population size was estimated by mark-recapture method with the Jolly-Seber model. Daily movement rates exhibited tremendous variations within and among individual C. flavomarginata and directions of the movements were non-random. Mean distance traveled during the day time was significantly greater than those during the night time. Distance traveled per day by the male turtles peaked in October (84.7 ± 17.8 m) and dropped to the lowest level in December. Male home range size ranged from 0.31 to 1.89 ha by 95% minimum convex polygon analysis, and was 0.52 to 2.36 ha by 95% fixed kernel estimation. The home ranges distributed around a temporary pond in the study area. In addition, C. flavomarginata stayed in the primary forest in bushes or litter layers and avoided the exposed area, such as forest gaps and areca plantations during March-October. The turtles overwintered in the creek areas and were relative inactive after November. C. flavomarginata was active in early morning and late afternoon and more activities were observed under sunny conditions. The estimated population size and density were 2.7-8.0 and 1.1-3.2 individuals.ha-1 from June to September. Illegal hunting in the area was often seen. The low capture rate and estimated density suggested that population of C. flavomarginata is under severe threat in Nanjenshan Reserve.

In this study I used five different Condition Index(CI) as an assessment of Cuora flavomarginata’s body mass condition for investigating the feasibility of Condition Index apply to Cuora flavomarginata, and determined which Condition Index suits to evaluate the body mass condition of Cuora flavomarginata, then compared the differences between wild turtles and captive ones. Data in this study, I use the wild population turtles(1996-1997) in Feitsui Reservoir Protected Area, northern Taiwan, as a standard population to compare with another wild population turtles(2012-2013)in Feitsui Reservoir Protected Areas, and two collections of captive turtles: National Chung Hsing University (NCHU) and Ping Tung Rescue Center(PTRC) of National Pingtung University of Science and Technology(NPUST). In the meantime, I putting this standard population into five different Condition Index conversion, and proceed the test which Condition Index should be qualified for. The main material is measurements of turtle’s body size. The collection time can be divided into three seasons regarding to Cuora flavomarginata’s life trait；nesting season(Jul.)、inactive season (Jan.)、after inactive season and before nesting season(Apr.). The result of this study shows that M/(CL*CW*SH) and log (M/M’)are the two most applicable Condition Index for Cuora flavomarginata. From the seasonal variation of condition Index, I discover the female turtle's condition index is higher than the male turtles in every month, and the males and females’ Condition Index are both lower in the nesting season. The result of this study shows that there is no significant difference between females and males’ condition index. However, the partial pattern is similar to the senior research, and it can be the reference of Condition Index in seasonal variation of Cuora flavomarginata as well. Through frequency distribution of Condition Index, we can understand better the difference of condition index between captive and wild ones. And the result of this study shows that Condition Index of captive turtles is higher than wild ones in average, and especially for NPUST. Under the limited space and overabundant food resource circumstances, it could cause a problem which the captive turtle's body condition is weaker than the wild ones. This study used noninvasive methods to understand animal’s body mass condition, and hopefully can provide a long term and effective reference for monitor wild population of Cuora flavomarginata and management of captive turtles as well

As ectotherms, the body temperature of turtles generally conformed to environment temperature. Because they cannot generate enough body heat to maintain body temperatures, they regulate their body temperature through shuttling among different thermal microhabitats to acclimate environment temperature variation. This study was conducted from November 2011 to October 2012. To record carapace temperatures of turtles and measure microhabitat characters, two female and four male turtles were fixed with temperature dataloggers and radio transmitters on carapace. Thermoregulation is most significant in December to February for males and in March for females. Furthermore, males thermoregulated more than females all year. According to relocations, males were found buried in dirt parially in winter, but females stayed on ground surface. Turtles usually use the microhabitat with relative humidity above 85%, canopy cover above 80% and understory coverage from 60 to 90% in forest. Because temperatures is warmer in southern than in northern Taiwan, males in this study thermoregulated in winter to acclimate low environment temperature which is different from thermoconforming in northern population, and unlike males, females didn’t bury in dirt in winter to regulate body temperature. Because females use leaf litter to preserve heat in winter. During nesting season （May- July） females in northern Taiwan usually use open field to gain higher shell temperature than males, however in southern population didn’t. Yellow- margined box turtles, Cuora flavomarginata, mainly inhabit in forest, but in recent years, due to habitat disturbed seriously by human and illegal hunting , threatened their survival in southern Taiwan. During the study period, there were three individuals missing by poaching, and repeatedly found the rodent traps placed by hunters. According to this study, turtles in northern and southern Taiwan face different thermal conditions. Therefore, the behavior of them should be different. Study on habitat requirement for yellow-margined box turtles in other region and legal enforcement are needed.

Age is an impartment parameter for understanding growth patterns and population structure of wild animals. In chelonians the age can be estimated either by counting the number of scute growth rings or reading lines of arrested growth (LAG) on long bone sections. Unfortunately, the inaccuracy of the former method and the difficulty in obtaining bones for study have limited in-depth researches on turtle life history and population biology. In order to more accurately determining the age of the protected yellow-margined box turtle (Cuora flavomarginata), I used turtles that died within one year after being confiscated in a rescue facility, and took measurements from skeletal morphology and estimating turtle age by by counting scute growth rings (SGR) and LAGs on humerus based on skeletochronological method. Humerus length, width and weight were positively correlated with body weight in the yellow-margined box turtle, and the LAG count from humerus cross section were also proportional to body weight, which justified the use of humerus for skeletochronology. Due to absorption of inner LAGs in the bone marrow, it was necessary to adjust the LAG counts using juveniles of known age. In juveniles and adult females, SGR counts were always higher then the adjusted LAGs, whereas in males both counts were not significantly different. Turtles born in the laboratory had higher SGR count than adjusted LAG counts and the former tended to overestimate the age of turtles. LAG was the more reliable estimate of turtle age. I also used two nonlinear regression models to compare the growth patterns, and the logistic model better fit the data than the von Bertalanffy model. The model suggested high growth rate in early years and followed by a decrease after a peak, presumably near the age of maturation. It would be possible to take the straight carapace length of turtles into the formula to obatin a more accurate estimate of the ages of the yellow-margined box turtle.

Translocation conservation is one of the conservation methods for the recovery of endangered wildlife populations and the survival of the species. Translocating confiscated the yellow-margined box turtles (Cuora flavomarginata) not only relieve the insufficient space in shelters, but also further supplement wild populations, but the failure of reptile translocation programs usually results from the homing and migration behavior of released animals away from the release sites. I used radio tracking to understand if the home range size and moving distance of released yellow-margined box turtles, were affected by the time of release. I tracked the local and release over two years turtles for two years in Hu-ben, and tracked for one year and 8 turtles released during the active and overwinter periods, respectively. There is no significant difference in home range size between turtles being released during the active (1.60 ha) or overwintering (1.06 ha) period, but had more number of deaths in overwintering period release individuate. However, there was no significant difference in home range size between local and anytime release individuals, but from data trend to explanation, the more smaller home range size of the more longer time of the wild to life an individual arising. The results suggest that future the yellow-margined box turtles into the wild to be in the active period release, and continued into the wild to observe whether the individual away from release point.
