I have included a list of reference books, scientific journal articles, web articles and personal observations that have helped in creating this website. If you are interested in learning more about Graptemys, this is where you should start. Many great scientists and nature enthusiasts have spent a lot of time gathering this information. It is to your benefit to seek out these listed references and to read them. A great number of scientists are currently working on Graptemys. So naturally, this list will grow with time. When indulging yourself in published literature, please be respectful and conscience of the efforts needed to preserve this Genus and the other animals that share their domain.
