MORPHOLOGY, REPRODUCTION, SEASONAL ACTIVITY AND HABITAT USE OF A NORTHERN POPULATION OF THE SMOOTH GREENSNAKE (OPHEODRYS VERNALIS)

Autor: Nicholas A. Cairns, Pamela L. Rutherford

Publikováno v: Journal of North American Herpetology. :1-7

The Smooth Greensnake (Opheodrys vernalis) is a small, slender, oviparous, colubrid snake that is widely distributed in North America. Nonetheless, there have been few studies on this species, and little is known about Canadian populations. The objec

Our knowledge of the conservation status of reptiles, the most diverse class of terrestrial vertebrates, has improved dramatically over the past decade, but still lags behind that of the other tetrapod groups. Here, we conduct the first comprehensive

The Importance of Vegetation Structure and Artificial Cover for Prairie Skinks (Plestiodon septentrionalis) on Exurban Land

The Northern Prairie Skink (Plestiodon septentrionalis) is listed as endangered and very little is known about habitat use in this semi-fossorial lizard. Much of the research to date has occurred on provincial park lands and federal military lands. T

Do Larval Damselflies make Adaptive Choices When Exposed to Both Parasites and Predators?

Autor: Mark R. Forbes, Pamela L. Rutherford, Robert L. Baker

Publikováno v: Ethology. 113:1073-1080

The importance of multiple enemies from different trophic levels on investment in defence by prey has, with some exceptions, received little attention. Some defences may make the victim more susceptible to other enemies; this latter situation applies

Prevalence of Aeromonas hydrophila in relation to timing and duration of breeding in three species of ranid frogs

Autor: David L. Mcruer, Mark R. Forbes, Pamela L. Rutherford

Publikováno v: Écoscience. 11:282-285

Species of temperate ranid frogs differ in ways (e.g., habitat preferences, timing and duration of their breeding seasons) that could influence their susceptibility to parasites and pathog...
