Nest-guarding by female Agassiz's desert tortoise (
Gopherus agassizii) at a wind-energy facility near Palm Springs, California.
Sex-steroids associated with the reproductive cycle in male and female bolson tortoise
Gopherus flavomarginatus.
So, the
Gopherus agassizii now has, virtually, a monopoly on a considerable real estate empire; with Bundy gone the monopoly will be complete--for the fegov agencies and enviro NGOs that claim to be conservators for the charming reptile.
Mating opportunities of female Gopher Tortoises,
Gopherus polyphemus, in relation to spatial isolation of females and their burrows.
Landscapes: An Application to the Gopher Tortoise (
Gopherus Polyphemus),
The size and shape of four
Gopherus species, a tortoise native to North America, have been proved to be unrelated to genetic differences and climate (Germano, 1993).
The iridoviruses are carried in the bodies of vertebrates such as gopher tortoises (
Gopherus polyphemus) (5), Chinese forest frogs (Rana dybowskii) (6), and fish (7,8).
The project will plant longleaf pine to create habitat for the threatened gopher tortoise (
Gopherus polyphemus) and to restore this fire-resistant tree species to the region where it once thrived.
On the one hand, some such as sand skinks (Plestiodon reynoldsi), gopher tortoises (
Gopherus polyphemus), and flightless pygmy mole crickets (Neotridactylus archboldi), persist in place by exploiting a subterranean life style in the sandy soils (Robbins & Myers 1992; Deyrup 2005).
