| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中興大學 === 生命科學系所 === 103 === 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.
