Persistence of Environmental DNA in Freshwater Ecosystems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
International audienceThe precise knowledge of species distribution is a key step in conservation biology. However, species detection can be extremely difficult in many environments, specific life stages and in populations at very low density. The aim of

Diet Composition of the Invasive American Bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) in Onuma Quasi-National Park, Hokkaido, Japan

open access: yesCurrent Herpetology, 2021
: An invasive alien species American bullfrog (hereafter, ‘bullfrog') is found in freshwater lakes in Onuma Quasi-National Park, Hokkaido, Japan. Bullfrog commonly feeds on red swamp crayfish in many areas.

Making Learning Personally Relevant: Sensemaking Assets Used in Families' Discussions While Using a Pollinator‐Focused Mobile Augmented Reality App

open access: yesScience Education, Volume 110, Issue 2, Page 525-542, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This study seeks to better understand the unique sensemaking assets that rural families weave into their outdoor learning experience while using a location‐based mobile app focused on healthy habitats for solitary bees. The project included mobile augmented reality (AR) technologies, which are increasingly used as educational tools at informal

Population Responses of Wood Frog (Rana Sylvatica) Tadpoles to Overwintered Bullfrog (Rana Catesbeiana) Tadpoles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
A fundamental goal in ecology is to understand how environmental variation influences the distribution of individuals within a population. In this study, we used laboratory experiments to examine the population responses of sympatric Wood Frog (Rana ...

Seasonal Emergence and Habitat Pond Use of Invasive American Bullfrog, Lithobates catesbeianus, on Sado Island, Japan

open access: yesCurrent Herpetology
: The American bullfrog Lithobates catesbeianus is a well-known invasive alien species recorded in over 40 countries and islands. It is necessary to elucidate their seasonal emergence and habitat water body characteristics for implementing efficient ...

A field evaluation of a trap for invasive American bullfrogs. [PDF]

open access: yesPacific Conservation Biology, 2011
Native to the eastern United States, American bullfrogs (Rana catesbeiana [Lithobates catesbeianus]) have been introduced in many countries throughout the world. There have been relatively few effective and efficient control methods developed to manage bullfrogs.

The Effect of Background Colour on Behaviour and Development of Golden Mantella (Mantella aurantiaca) Tadpoles

open access: yesEthology, Volume 132, Issue 3, Page 204-215, March 2026.
This study examined how background colour influences behaviour and development in golden mantella (Mantella aurantiaca) tadpoles across ontogeny. Tadpoles preferred darker backgrounds, and this preference got less strong with increasing age. Individuals reared in darker conditions were less active but did not differ in growth rate and shelter use when ...

Simulated soundscapes and transfer learning boost the performance of acoustic classifiers under data scarcity

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 322-338, February 2026.
Abstract The biodiversity crisis necessitates spatially extensive methods to monitor multiple taxonomic groups for evidence of change in response to evolving environmental conditions. Programs that combine passive acoustic monitoring and machine learning are increasingly used to meet this need. These methods require large, annotated datasets, which are

Evolution of research on global amphibian declines

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract In the late 1980s, the scientific community became aware of severe, enigmatic amphibian population declines. These declines triggered a wave of research focused on quantifying their extent and identifying key drivers. We used text‐analysis techniques, including topic modeling and geoparsing, to examine the evolution of research focused on ...
