This paper argues that improving the communication between landholders and ecologists will result in better conservation outcomes for ecosystem management on private land. It examines a case study of ecological research on frogs undertaken on private, agricultural land in south-eastern Australia. The ...

Compared to the oceans, spatially finite ecosystems such as ponds or lakes can offer replication and allow whole-ecosystem type experiments to be conducted with appropriate replicates (either in space or time) and with controls (e.g. manipulated vs. unmanipulated; Fig.1). Before-after-control-im...

Through time, Fish have adapted to their environment through the evolution of gills, swim bladders and fins. Their gills allow them to absorb oxygen from the water. The swim bladders allow the fishes to maintain its appropriate level of buoyancy to swim well and their fins allow ...
Its life cycle requires two intermediate hosts (snails and fish or frogs) and one avian definitive host (Osborn 1911, 1912; Kanev et al. 2002; McAllister et al. 2010; Calhoun et al. 2019). The pulmonate gastropods in the families Planorbidae and Lymnaeidae are commonly reported as first...
signaling traits are often at the center of discussions on the evolution of animal biodiversity9,10,11. Despite its broad scope, theory around animal signals and sexual selection has advanced largely through the intensive study of relatively few taxa. Animals such as frogs, fish, and arthropods ...
of the genusEulemur,the montane refugia hypothesis, for example, could be shown to explain patterns of species richness and endemism in cophyline frogs [27]. Furthermore, climatic gradients had probably important influences on the diversification of several chameleons, geckos and also lemurs [20]....
Rohr also said: “In our wetland survey, our microcosms and disease models, we discovered that there were fewer flatworms in frogs where there were more species of flatworm predators. Additionally, the field study indicated that the diversity of these predators was a better predictor ...
