Wood frogs (Lithobates sylvaticus) are threatened by habitat degradation associated with suburbanization. Suburban development near pools may affect larvae with ramifications for population persistence and vitality. We studied larval development and documented key vernal pool and terrestrial characteristics within 1000 m of 43 pools across the subu...
Urbanization is known to extirpate many species, but far less is known about how suburbanization may affect amphibian populations. We studied wood frogs (Lithobates sylvaticus) to test the effects of site characteristics (within-pool conditions and land cover indicative of suburbanization within 1000 m) and larval morphology on newly emerged frogle...
This plan developed by and for the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) Division of Fish and Wildlife provides context of the current environmental conditions and terrestrial wildlife resources in the CNMI, followed by common readiness strategies and response steps. We then provide separate readiness and response actions pertaining t...
Vernal pools in the northeastern US are of conservation concern primarily because of their role as habitat for specialized pool-breeding amphibians, but their use by birds and mammals may also be of interest, especially from the perspective of the impact of urbanization. We describe camera-trapped wildlife (CTW) at 38 vernal pools along an urban de...
Vernal pools in the northeastern United States provide essential habitat for pool-breeding amphibians and provide resources for other forest-dwelling wildlife. These pools and pool-breeding amphibians in particular are threatened by land conversion associated with urbanization and urban-associated factors. The responses of these amphibians and of b...
Green roofs present an opportunity to provide large areas of vegetation that could serve as bird habitat in urban areas. Point-count surveys at 12 green-roof study locations in the midwestern United States were conducted during the bird breeding season in 2010 and 2011. At each green roof location, birds were surveyed on building rooftops and at gr...
