The variation in larval developmental patterns in the wood frog, Rana sylvatica, along an elevation gradient of 1,000 m was experimentally studied. Larval populations at high elevation ponds had lower ...

In 1981 an epidemic among larval amphibians caused by the bacterium Aeromonas hydrophila extirpated the larval population of Rana sylvatica in a Rhode Island vernal-autumnal pond and in enclosures ...

The network of roads on the landscape is vast, and has wide-reaching ecological influence. Recent investigations have focused on understanding impacts of contaminants from road runoff, especially ...

Wood frogs (Rana sylvatica) exhibit an extraordinary capacity for freeze tolerance, an adaptation that enables survival despite the conversion of up to 65–70% of their total body water into ...

A frog species forms 'boy bands' that sing in unison to woo females into their pools, a new study shows. Researchers have recorded wood frogs (Rana sylvatica) at ponds in New Hampshire to learn more ...
