AMPHIBIAN DISTRIBUTION IN THE GEORGIA SEA ISLANDS: IMPLICATIONS FROM THE PAST AND FOR THE FUTURE [PDF]

, 2020
We summarized amphibian distributions for 12 coastal islands in Georgia, USA. Occurrence among islands was correlated with life history traits, habitats, island size, distance to other islands, and island geological age.

Mapping edaphic soils' conditions to identify conservation targets for pine barren and sandplain ecosystems in New York State

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 9, September 2022., 2022
Modeling of edaphic soil conditions can reveal small habitat patches that may host unique biodiversity. Our modeling of deep, sandy soils in New York State revealed abundant soils that may host pine barren and sandplain ecosystems, and the numerous rare and threatened species they host.

Helminth parasites of the eastern spadefoot toad,Pelobates syriacus (Pelobatidae), from Turkey

Turkish Journal of Zoology, 2010
Ninety-one eastern spadefoot toads, Pelobates syriacus, were collected from 3 localities in Turkey between 1993 and 2003 and examined for helminths. One species of Monogenea (Polystoma sp.) and 3 species of Nematoda (Aplectana brumpti, Oxysomatium brevicaudatum, Skrjabinelazia taurica) were found.

Could species‐focused suppression of Aedes aegypti, the yellow fever mosquito, and Aedes albopictus, the tiger mosquito, affect interacting predators? An evidence synthesis from the literature

Pest Management Science, Volume 78, Issue 7, Page 2729-2745, July 2022., 2022
The risks of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus nuisance and vector‐borne diseases are rising and their ranges are expanding. The studies identified by this extensive review come together to suggest little potential risk of adverse impact of suppressing or eliminating invasive Aedes spp. on their predators and food webs.

Present and past climatic effects on the current distribution and genetic diversity of the Iberian spadefoot toad (Pelobates cultripes): an integrative approach [PDF]

, 2017
Aim: Predicting species responses to global change is one of the most pressing issues in Conservation Biogeography. A key part of the problem is understanding how organisms have reacted to climatic changes in the past.

Breeding Pond Selection and Movement Patterns by Eastern Spadefoot Toads (Scaphiopus holbrookii) in Relation to Weather and Edaphic Conditions [PDF]

Journal of Herpetology, 2004
Eastern Spadefoot Toads (Scaphiopus holbrookii) require fish-free, isolated, ephemeral ponds for breeding but otherwise inhabit surrounding uplands, commonly xeric longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) and wiregrass (Aristida beyrichiana) ecosystem. Fire suppression in the Florida sandhills has the potential to alter upland and pond suitability through ...

Polystoma nacialtuneli n. sp. (Monogenea: Polystomatidae) from the eastern spadefoot, Pelobates syriacus (Pelobatidae) in Turkey

Journal of Helminthology, 2011
AbstractPolystoma nacialtuneli n. sp. is described from the urinary bladder of the eastern spadefoot, Pelobates syriacus from Turkey. This is the fifth polystome species known from Turkey and the third species in Pelobates. We show that this new parasite species can be distinguished from other polystome species in the area by a combination of ...

Recent shrinkage of the range of the Eastern Spadefoot Toad,Pelobates syriacus(Amphibia: Anura): archaeological evidence from the Bronze Age in Israel [PDF]

Zoology in the Middle East, 2007
The analysis of the remains collected in the Ara Burial Cave in Lower Galilee, Israel (Late Bronze Age II, c. 1300-1200 BCE), permitted the identification of 725 anuran remains be- longing mostly to Bufo viridis but also to Pelobates cf. syriacus. The origin of the anuran assem- blage in Ara cave appears to be intrusive, probably related to the need to

Activity Level-Predation Risk Tradeoff in a Tadpole Guild: Implications for Community Organization Along the Hydroperiod Gradient [PDF]

, 2020
Increasing activity levels permit greater food intake for use towards growth and reproduction, consequently increasing predation risk via increased detection.
