We examined the effects of four experimental forest management treatments on breeding-site selection by gray treefrogs ( Hyla versicolor) in Missouri. Our study of four management treatments included a clearcut with high amounts of coarse woody debris (CWD), a clearcut with lower amounts of ...
Although ice crystals form under the skin when frogs hibernate in the winter, a high concentration ofglucose occurring naturally in the frog's organs prevents the animal from freezing. Even when a deep freeze causes the frog's heart to stop beating and the frog to stop breathing, the body w...
