The effects of pathogens, UV-B radiation, and introduced species on amphibians in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:

Kiesecker, Joseph Michael

Abstract:

I examined two amphibian communities to assess factors that may impact amphibian biodiversity. The results suggest that the potential factors which influence the maintenance of amphibian biodiversity are multi-faceted and thus, attempts to understand these factors must reflect these complexities. I investigated factors that influenced the susceptibility of western toad...

The influence of forest management on headwater stream amphibians at multiple spatial scales

Creator:

Stoddard, Margo A.

Abstract:

To effectively manage for biodiversity at broad, ecosystem scales, the influences of habitat structure at multiple spatial scales on vertebrate species must be understood. There are few studies on the broad-scale habitat requirements of stream amphibians despite their importance in streams in forest ecosystems in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) as...
