Comparative Toepad Morphology in Chorus Frogs (Genus Pseudacris): Arboreal, Terrestrial, and Ground Dwelling Species
… in the arboreal Hyla chrysoscelis, semiarboreal Pseudacris crucifer, terrestrial P. triseriata, P. brachyphona, and P. brimleyi, semiaquatic Rana catesbiana, and fossorial Pseudacris streckeri and ornata, and Gastrophryne carolinensis, using scanning electron microscopy. The arboreal and …

Amphibians in a changing world: assessing the effects of warming and drying on amphibian larvae and the relationships between larval survival, body size, and time to metamorphosis
… sylvaticus</em>) and spring peepers (<em>Pseudacris crucifer</em>), to simulated warming and drying in experimental ponds. Over 13 weeks, we manipulated temperature and water levels in ponds to produce 4 treatments: control, drying, warming, and drying + warming. Our manipulations created …

Effects of canopy cover on the landscape epidemiology of an amphibian chytrid fungus
… all common species combined and Spring Peepers (Pseudacris crucifer) separately, which was the most abundant species. Bd was widespread throughout the study wetlands. During the drought year of 2012, however, prevalence of Bd was substantially reduced compared to 2013 for common species combined …

The role of priority effects in the assembly of the amphibian microbiome
… system but can be observed in spring peeper (Pseudacris crucifer) tadpoles as well. This study demonstrates the applicability of priority effects in increasing the abundance of target probiotic taxa; a benefit to amphibian populations facing threats by a lethal fungal pathogen. By treating …

Assessing sources of variation in amphibian skin thickness: ecological and evolutionary implications
… frog (L. pipiens), and the spring peeper (Pseudacris crucifer) from multiple months of the year were sampled to determine if skin thickness increased in the autumn or winter months. Seasonal skin thickening was only detected in L. catesbeianus, and skin from autumn and winter was …

Bacteriophages in the honey bee gut and amphibian skin microbiomes: investigating the interactions between phages and their bacterial hosts
… (Notophthalmus viridescens), Spring peepers (Pseudacris crucifer) and American toads (Anaxyrus americanus). Prophages were additionally identified in publicly available genomes of non-amphibian isolates of Janthinobacterium lividum, a bacteria found both on amphibian skin and broadly in the …

Functional Equivalency of Created and Natural Wetlands in the Central Appalachians: Reproductive Success, Call Phenology, and Diet Composition of Amphibians
… or natural wetlands. Abundance of spring peeper (Pseudacris crucifer ) metamorphs decreased significantly from 2009 to 2010 and abundance of green frog metamorphs increased with habitat complexity, but both were unaffected by wetland type. Detection probability of metamorphs of both species was …
