| Abstract
|
:
|
"The earth's taxonomically diverse river turtles are often specialized species which play varied but poorly understood roles in flowing water ecosystems. Many are endangered by direct exploitation for food and other uses and by habitat degradation in their home rivers. This book provides an overview of their ecology and examines issues related to their exploitation, conservation, and management."--Jacket
