flmnh-31	Meers, Mason; Robinson, Katie; Smith, Dustin; Scordino, Aurore; Fisher, Laura	Effect of diet on growth in captive Podocnemis unifilis: assessing optimal diets for turtles in head-starting programs	2016	11	.pdf	application/pdf	5241	300	60	Results indicate that turtles fed on a commercial gel diet may exceed growth rates of animals fed on a more natural, vegetarian diet by more than 15% as measured by straight-line carapace length, or by more than 50% in body mass. Páez and colleagues (2009), for example, documented maternal effects on growth rates of hatchlings over the first month post- hatching, although it is unclear if effects observed during that time period would have long term effects on growth.	cache/flmnh-31.pdf	txt/flmnh-31.txt
