  <dc:description>Little is known about the movement behavior of the stripe-necked musk turtle, &lt;i&gt;Sternotherus minor peltifer&lt;/i&gt;. Using radiotelemetry, we calculated mean (± SD) home range length, which was 341.4 ± 90.3 m, with home range length not differing between the sexes (males, 335 ± 194 m; females, 346 ± 79.5 m). &lt;i&gt;Sternotherus m. peltifer&lt;/i&gt; were active in every month of the year but decreased their movement distance and frequency between December and March; during nonwinter and winter periods, individuals used limestone bluffs most often.</dc:description>
