Dr. Pryor investigating a temporary pond where Southern toads (Bufo terrestris) and Southern Leopard frogs (Rana utricularia) were breeding. |
Here is an example of a temporary pond next to one of the drift fences. These ponds are ideal for amphibians to breed in because they typically lack fish predators that would eat frog eggs. |
Eggs strings deposited in the temporary pond by Southern toads (Bufo terrestris) during March 2006. |
