Some Remarks on the Habits of British Frogs and Toads, with reference to Mr. Cummings's recent communication on Distant Orientation in Amphibia doi:10.1111/j.1469-7998.1912.tb07001.xJohn Wiley & Sons, LtdProceedings of the Zoological Society of LondonG. A. Boulenger...
Tadpoles of different species of frogs and toads display different tendencies to aggregate. We investigated some of the costs and benefits of aggregating in three British species by examining their behavioural responses to the presence of conspecifics, and by monitoring the performance of tadpoles under...
Once upon a time there was a little boy who became very ill. He had to spend all day in bed, unable to move. Because other children weren't allowed to come near him, he suffered greatly, and spent his days feeling sad and blue. ...
That accounts for the comparative poverty of animal and vegetable life in England, and still more for its extreme paucity40 and meagreness in Ireland and the Highlands. It has been erroneously asserted, for example, that St. Patrick expelled snakes and lizards41, frogs and toads43, from the ...
Frogs (R. temporaria) and toads (B. bufo) were extremely uncommon and found only in places totally undisturbed by farming activity. All three newt species were more widespread, but always associated with the presence of scrub (Ulex) vegetation structure. Pond preferences were in accord with ...
This faunistic assemblage includes many lizards, frogs and toads, centipedes and millipedes, scorpions, spiders, Peripatus, insects of many kinds 鈥 especially cockroaches 鈥 many slugs and snails, a large number of land-planarians, and, more rarely, land- nemertines. Of the Land-Planarians...
Neither pH nor ionic score correlated with the distribution of any of the three species individually, but large old ponds of high ionic scores were associated with a greater abundance of toads compared with frogs in situations where the two species occurred together. Surveys indicated that in the...
Conversely, Bd was not detectedin Columbia Spotted Frogs (Rana luteiventris), Wood frogs, orWestern Toads collected at several locations including the ChilkootTrail National Historic Site, northwest British Columbia (Adamset al. 2007). Likewise, Bd was not found in Wood Frogs in DenaliNational ...
Thus, in Panama, intensive transect observations were sufficient to document declines of eight families of frogs and salamanders [71], and rapid declines of the stream frog Craugastor punctariolus in the same country were affirmed using capture-mark-recapture studies as the disease moved through a...
