Northern California Redwood Forests Provide Important Seasonal Habitat for Migrant Bats
Bats are known to roost in redwood forests year-round, but their activities outside the summer season are poorly understood. To improve understanding of the use of redwoods by resident and migrant bats, we conducted 74 mist net surveys between February 2008 and October 2010. Captures were dominated by Yuma myotis (M. yumanensis) in the summer and silverhaired bats (Lasionycteris noctivagans) in...

متن کاملLarge-scale recovery of an endangered amphibian despite ongoing exposure to multiple stressors.
Amphibians are one of the most threatened animal groups, with 32% of species at risk for extinction. Given this imperiled status, is the disappearance of a large fraction of the Earth's amphibians inevitable, or are some declining species more resilient than is generally assumed? We address this question in a species that is emblematic of many declining amphibians, the endangered Sierra Nevada ...
متن کاملImportant Clinical Aspects of Amphibian Physiology
THERMAL HOMEOSTASIS Amphibians are poikilothermic ectotherms. Their core body temperatures are determined by ambient environmental temperatures, and an amphibian thermoregulates by moving through the mosaic of environmental temperatures to find those appropriate for its current physiological needs. The preferred operating temperature zones (POTZ) vary tremendously between species, between geogr...
متن کاملDo Habitat Corridors Provide Connectivity ? PAUL
Skeptics have questioned the empirical evidence that corridors provide landscape connectivity. Some also have suggested dangers of corridors. We reviewed published studies that empirically addressed whether corridors enhance or diminish the population viability of species in habitat patches connected by corridors. A randomized and replicated experimental design has not been used—and we argue is...
