Genetic structure and diversity of the endangered growling grass frog in a rapidly urbanizing region
Two pervasive and fundamental impacts of urbanization are the loss and fragmentation of natural habitats. From a genetic perspective, these impacts manifest as reduced genetic diversity and ultimately reduced genetic viability. The growling grass frog (Litoria raniformis) is listed as vulnerable to extinction in Australia, and endangered in the state of Victoria. Remaining populations of this s...
متن کاملMicrohabitat Preferences of Bullfrog Tadpoles (Rana catesbeiana) of Different Ages
I experimentally investigated the habitat use preferences of bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana) tadpoles of different ages (early, first-year vs. late, second-year, premetamorphic) in the laboratory. Early tadpoles showed a preference for non-vegetated areas, whereas late tadpoles showed no preference. Early tadpoles were seen more often over small, gravel substrate as opposed to large rocks, whereas ...
متن کاملAre Microhabitat Preferences of Coexisting Species Under Selection and Adaptive?
Microhabitat preferences are assumed to be adaptive, suggesting that fitness is higher in preferred microhabitats and potentially reflecting natural selection on habitat choices. I examined microhabitat preferences and adaptiveness of preferences for seven bird species coexisting in high elevation snowmelt drainages based on study of microhabitat and survival of 1556 nests. Habitat features in ...
متن کاملThe Clinician Scientist--an endangered species? Annual oration--Royal Victoria Hospital--5th October 1995.
I am grateful to my fellow members of staff for doing me the honour of asking me to give this, the 168th, annual oration, but honour and pleasure of course are not synonymous, and this occasion for me, while a great honour, is a qualified pleasure probably for the audience too, so our sympathies are mutual. There is however one aspect which is pleasurable, and that is to be introduced as a lady...
متن کاملMicrohabitat Types Promote the Genetic Structure of a Micro-Endemic and Critically Endangered Mole Salamander (Ambystoma leorae) of Central Mexico
The reduced immigration and emigration rates resulting from the lack of landscape connectivity of patches and the hospitality of the intervening matrix could favor the loss of alleles through genetic drift and an increased chance of inbreeding. In order for isolated populations to maintain sufficient levels of genetic diversity and adapt to environmental changes, one important conservation goal...
