Distribution of boreal toad populations in relation to estimated UV-B dose in Glacier National Park, Montana, USA
Hossack BR, Diamond SA, Corn PS. 2006. Distribution of boreal toad populations in relation to estimated UV-B dose in Glacier National Park, Montana, USA. Canadian Journal of Zoology. 84(1):98-107
Examination of Boreal toad (Bufo boreas) occupancy relative to daily UV-B radiation dose at 172 potential breeding sites in Glacier National Park to assess UV-B and its potential limiting influence on toad distribution in Glacier. Results provide no support for hypothesis that UV-B limits the distribution of boreal toad populations in the park. Temporal trends in surface UV-B and spring snowpack were considered.
