	abstract = {Behaviors of animals in estuarine ecosystems are influenced by tidal cycles. The estuarine emydid Diamondback Terrapin, Malaclemys terrapin, utilizes the intertidal zone for behaviors such as courting, mating, feeding, and emergence into nesting habitat. The importance of tidal cycles on nesting behavior has rarely been analyzed in previous nesting studies. The nesting patterns of diamondbacks in Long Island’s Oyster Bay Harbour have been studied for three consecutive years. This population of terrapins exhibits both diurnal and nocturnal nesting activity, high site fidelity, and deposition of multiple clutches each season. Autocorrelations show nesting periodicity within a season to be about 13 - 15 days. This nesting activity is concentrated around the lunar phase, an environmental stimulus which has been ignored in previous terrapin studies. The moon is in syzygy when in line with the sun and moon, this increased gravitational force results in the highest and lowest tides of the month (spring tides). Significant increases in distribution of nesting activity around moon illuminations of 100 \% (full moon) and 0\% (new moon) were observed in the populations here, as well as populations described in published literature. The daily nesting patterns at these times of the month are concentrated around both semidiurnal high tides. It is hypothesized that the reason for emergence during high spring tides decreases distance traveled on land and the likelihood of nest inundation by tidal flow.},
