There are very few streams left in southern California, and those streams are often muddy because of building projects. Not surprisingly, the arroyo toad is now in danger of extinction. There are a number of other factors in amphibian decline. Pollution is one of them. In many industrial ...
One invasive amphibian, the African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis), native to sub-Saharan Africa and shipped globally beginning in the mid 20th century, has established populations across the world, including southern California. Little research has been performed to determine how this invasive species ...

in South America up to southern Texas. But humans have introduced cane toads elsewhere, and their insatiable appetites can be a big problem for wildlife. They are an invasive species in areas such as Florida and Australia, where they compete with native amphibians and poison animals that try ...
All three species are California frogs, although the Foothills species overlaps into southern Oregon. Two of the Rana Species are Red-legged frogs. And again, both are West Coast Species. The Northern Red-legged frog lives in the coastal plain from Northern California to British Columbia. The ...

Based on the ecology and distribution of extant pipid frogs, this clade of largely aquatic species might have been associated with tropical freshwater habitats in southern Gondwana during the Mesozoic, though the paleoecological context for many relevant fossils remains limited. Recent phylogenetic ...
Emily Jones noticed that seaweed from northern California shorelines was much more sensitive to grazing than was seaweed from southern California shorelines. It took fewer grazing snails to elicit palatability reduction in northernSilvetiathan it did in southernSilvetia. She decided to focus her PhD...
