Collected Evidence: Collected Evidence: Red-eared terrapin: Direct removal of adults A replicated field study in Spain found that Aranzadi turtle traps were effective in trapping red-eared terrapins from a river but did not eradicate the population. A study in the British Virgin Islands found that using sein nets to trap adults and juveniles was not successful in eradicating the population.  Collected Evidencehttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.conservationevidence.com%2Factions%2F1055https%3A%2F%2Fwww.conservationevidence.com%2Factions%2F1055Tue, 13 Oct 2015 11:56:26 +0100Collected Evidence: Collected Evidence: Red-eared terrapin: Biological control using native predators No evidence was captured on the use of predators to control invasive terrapin populations. 'No evidence' for an action means we have not yet found any studies that directly and quantitatively tested this action during our systematic journal and report searches. Therefore we have been unable to assess whether or not the action is effective or has any harmful impacts. Please get in touch if you know of such a study for this action.    Collected Evidencehttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.conservationevidence.com%2Factions%2F1056https%3A%2F%2Fwww.conservationevidence.com%2Factions%2F1056Tue, 13 Oct 2015 11:58:10 +0100Collected Evidence: Collected Evidence: Red-eared terrapin: Draining invaded waterbodies No evidence was captured on the impact of draining invaded waterbodies on reduction of red-eared terrapin populations.
