Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1981 1. 1. Rates of evaporative water loss were measured under controlled environmental conditions in Scaphiopus holbrooki either paralyzed with tubocurarine chloride or restrained physically. 2. 2. Rates of water loss and body temperatures did not differ significantly between paralyzed and restrained animals. 3. 3.

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.

Host sexual dimorphism and parasite adaptation [PDF]
, 2012 In species with separate sexes, parasite prevalence and disease expression is often different between males and females. This effect has mainly been attributed to sex differences in host traits, such as immune response.

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue 3, September 2025.Herpetofaunal camera arrays versus pitfall and funnel trap arrays were tested in upland habitats of Florida, USA, and found that the methods are complementary in recording species richness and abundance; they were also similar in costs of use. Future herpetofaunal field studies should employ both cameras and live traps to best estimate populations and ...

LIFE HISTORY SWITCH POINT PLASTICY IN RESPONSE TO POND DRYING ALYERS METAMORPH ALLOMETRY AND JUMPING PERFORMANCE [PDF]
, 2012 Animals with complex life cycles can cope with environmental uncertainty by altering life history switch points through developmental plasticity. Pond drying is an important factor which may alter life history switch points in aquatic organisms.

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2025.Abstract Estimating how close a species is to its upper thermal limits (i.e., warming tolerance, a thermal sensitivity index) and how that proximity changes across space enables spatially explicit identification of species with increased extinction risk as temperatures increase. Yet, thermal sensitivity is often difficult to calculate because it is the

Amphibian, Reptile, and Small Mammal Associates of Ozark Pocket Gopher Habitat in Izard County, Arkansas [PDF]
, 2008 We conducted a study of the amphibian, reptile, and small mammal community assemblage of Ozark pocket gopher (Geomys bursarius ozarkensis) habitat in north-central Arkansas. We used 2 methods to capture individuals: hand capture and drift fences.

Integrative Conservation, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 368-381, December 2024.Lack of species information complicates understanding climate change vulnerability, but life history traits can be proxies for missing information. In the north‐central United States, useful traits for discriminating vulnerability of amphibians include range size, clutch size, diel activity patterns, and habitat breadth.
