Talk:Diamondback terrapin

How strong is full strength?
"They can live in full strength salt water for extended periods,[13]"

Is that a scientific term? The oceans vary in salinity. So whats the standard for "full strength"?

Lead Image
Why is the lead image of the diamondback terrapin held by a human hand? I'm not interested in that image. For the record, I like the image of the diamondback terrapin alone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Esagurton (talk • contribs) 01:38, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

Bels, Davenport, Renous
I've been doing some tidying of references that start with a comma, usually a sign that something has gone wrong. This article turned up because a reference began, missing the surname of the first author. This took a bit of detective work, since googling the title of the cited work only found Wikipedia mirrors with the first surname missing. This material was merged in from the Terrapin article in 2011, and the faulty reference appeared in this edit in 2009. Observe that the faulty reference corresponds to "Bels et al. 1995" in the previous version, indicating that the missing surname is "Bels". Googling the three names "bels davenport renous" finds other publications by these three authors working together. -- John of Reading (talk) 14:03, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
