Temporal Comparisons on the Genetic Variation of the Dusky Gopher Frog (Lithobates sevosus)
… vital information on future viability. The dusky gopher frog, Lithobates sevosus, exists in isolation with an estimated population size of 100-200 individuals, and previous research has shown that low genetic variability exists as a consequence of isolation and population size reduction. …

Identifying New Potential Breeding Pond Sites for the Dusky Gopher Frog in Southern Mississippi
… Mississippi for the critically endangered dusky gopher frog (DGF). Ephemeral ponds are the preferred breeding habitat for the species, but they are quite rare in the region due to the diminishment of the longleaf pine ecosystem. This research addresses gaps in the current literature by …

Effects of Infection of the Protist Parasite, Dermomycoides sp., in Dusky Gopher Frog Tadpoles
… caused several years of low recruitment in the dusky gopher frog (<em>Rana sevosa</em>) populations. I evaluated the effects of density of the infective zoospores, host developmental stage, and tadpoles' ability to acquire resistance to <em>Dermomycoides </em>sp. on dusky gopher frog tadpoles. …

The Ecology of the Endangered Dusky Gopher Frog (Rana Sevosa) and a Common Congener, the Southern Leopard Frog (Rana Sphenocephala)
… (Rana sevosa) and a common (Rana sphenocephala) frog in changing habitats, to determine why these two species differ in their persistence. I include additional studies investigating the habitat requirements and behavior of R. sevosa. I found that habitat change in the form of canopy closure over …
