Distribution Patterns of Lentic-Breeding Amphibians in Relation to Ultraviolet Radiation Exposure in Western North America
Adams MJ, Hossack BR, Knapp RA, Corn PS, Diamond SA, Trenham PC, Fagre DB. 2005. Distribution Patterns of Lentic-Breeding Amphibians in Relation to Ultraviolet Radiation Exposure in Western North America. Ecosystems. 8(5):488-500
A comparison of patterns of amphibian presence to site-specific estimates of ultraviolet-B radiation dose at 683 ponds and lakes in Glacier, Olympic, and Sequioa-Kings Canyon national parks. Eight species were examined: Ambystoma gracile, Ambystoma macrodactylum, Bufo boreas, Pseudacris regilla, Rana cascadae, Rana leuteiventris, Rana muscosa, and Taricha granulosa.
