FIG. 1. Map of Gopher Tortoise range highlighting their conservation status in different parts of their range. Included is an outline of the study site at Kennedy Space Center, USA, with the potential roadside corridors connecting coastal and inland habitat outlined in black. We conducted both parts of this study along two different roads (boxed and labeled). Details of these two distinct sites appear in Figure 2. Box (A) is the study site for examining current roadside corridors use using radiotelemetry to determine how Gopher Tortoises in this region spatially used the roadsides. Box (B) is the study site for translocating tortoises along the roadside to determine if movement through the corridor back to their original home range was feasible.
