چکیده
27 Twitty 1940; Nussbaum 1969). Our observations suggest that hyporheic zones might provide important and not previously recognized habitats for amphibians in intermittent headwater streams. Additional sampling is needed to better characterize hyporheic use by Dicamptodon and other stream amphibians such as the torrent salamanders (Rhyacotriton spp.). Better information notwithstanding, management regulations throughout the Pacific Northwest, particularly forestry protections for low order (headwater) stream courses, should include protections for these important spatially and temporally subterranean aquatic environments that are currently either unprotected or weakly protected (see Sheridan and Olson 2003).

The chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is a significant cause of the worldwide decline in amphibian populations; however, various amphibian species are capable of coexisting with B. dendrobatidis. Among them are boreal toads (Anaxyrus (Bufo) boreas boreas) located in Grand Teton National Park (GTNP) in Wyoming, USA. The purpose of this study was to identify cultivable bacterial isola...

Conservation breeding programs for the flagship species, the Wyoming toad (Bufo baxteri), Boreal toad (Bufo boreas boreas), Puerto Rican crested toad (Peltophryne lemur), and Chinese giant salamander (Andrias davidianus) are either completely or largely dependent on hormonal induction. Commercial production of African clawed toads (Xenopus spp.) and also numerous other species rely on hormonal ...
