Radio location data were used to provide measures of annual activity, spatial distributions of animals, and habitat selection.
Results suggest a random pattern of movement by bog turtles within habitats.
Large-scale movements are infrequent and the risk of site isolation may be high if wetland habitat loss continues at historic rates. Future management should protect spatially-close sites which contain multiple habitat types, soft substrate, and pockets of water.
