    Extractions: Head of Pacific Giant Salamander. photo by Marc Hayes Amphibians of Washington Washington is home to 27 species of amphibians, including 14 salamanders (all native) and 11 native and 2 non-native frogs. Two species of salamanders occur only in Washington and nowhere else in the world! Many of the other local amphibians are unique to the Pacific Northwest. In fact, three entire families of amphibians (Dicamptodontidae, Rhyacotritonidae, and Ascaphidae) are endemic to the Pacific Northwest (that is, the entire family is found only in the Northwest); all of the amphibian species in these three endemic families are specialized for life in the clear, cool streams of Pacific Northwest forests. We invite you to explore the diversity of northwestern amphibians as shown below in our checklist. You can see pictures and learn more about many of these species by clicking on the links below. Photographs and information about more species will be added soon, so check back regularly!

    http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/herpetology/FL-GUIDE/Flaherps.htm
    
    Extractions: An on-line fieldguide to Florida's amphibian and reptile fauna is under construction. When complete, it will allow the user to identify all these animals in the field; will provide color photographs and line drawings of the species; will describe their geographic distribution, particularly in Florida; and furnish notes on their ecology and behavior. The FLMNH's 'Online Guide to the Snakes of Florida' and 'Guide to the Venomous Snakes of Florida' already are on-line. Please watch these pages for the appearance of the full fieldguide to Florida's amphibians and reptiles. In the meantime, a simple checklist of the amphibians and reptiles known to occur in Florida is being provided. In the compilation that follows, the species are listed alphabetically by scientific name, first by genus, then by species and subspecies. Amateur and professional herpetologists familiar with amphibian and reptile systematics undoubtedly would prefer to have the species grouped together under the appropriate families, but the general public should find the alphabetical list easier to use until the fieldguide goes on-line. Exotic (non-native) species which have been introduced (escaped or were released) and now have breeding populations in Florida are noted. The frequency with which introductions are occurring makes any list of Florida herps out of date almost as soon as it is compiled. That undoubtedly is the case with the list that follows.

    Extractions: Amphibian Alert! This downloadable curriculum aims to teach children what amphibians are and why amphibian population declines are important to scientists and communities throughout the world. The amphibian decline dilemma represents an outstanding opportunity for educators to introduce into the classroom a real-world problem that is being addressed by science. You need not be a science specialist to teach the Amphibian Alert! curriculum. Amphibian Alert! was developed, produced, and distributed with major funding from the Environmental Protection Agency. Kits were distributed to AZA accredited zoos throughout the United States. The kits included some multimedia tools not available on this site. You might check with your local AZA zoo, as they may be able to loan materials to classrooms. What are the characteristics of amphibians? What characteristics put them at risk? What is happening to amphibian populations worldwide? Why should we be concerned, and what can we do?

    Extractions: Amphibians were the first land-dwelling vertebrates. Most species lay gelatinous eggs in or near water where the larvae undergo an aquatic stage before transformation to more land dwelling (terrestrial) adults. Amphibians are carnivorous and will eat whatever moves and is small enough to swallow (primarily insects and worms). Amphibians cannot internally control their body temperature; therefore they must seek shelter during winter. Many prefer underground burrows or rotting logs; some remain underwater or nestle in mud, absorbing oxygen through their skin. They move to breeding sites (sometimes in groups) when the first warm rains of early spring occur. These species are studied and monitored as part of the Herptile Atlas program (reptiles and amphibians) and the Calling Amphibian Monitoring Program (started in 1998), which monitors only frogs and toads.

59. Amphibians Respond Behaviorally To Impact Of Clear Cutting
    Biology News Articles Current Events, Updated Daily.  
    http://www.biologynews.net/archives/2008/03/11/amphibians_respond_behaviorally_t
    
    Extractions: The Ringed Salamander ( Ambystoma annulatum ) is a species unique to the Ozarks. The number of amphibians drastically decreases in forest areas that are clearcut, according to previous studies. A University of Missouri researcher, however, has found that some animals may not be dying. Instead, the Mizzou biologist said some animals may be moving away (possibly to return later) or retreating underground. The finding could have major implications for both the timber industry and the survival of amphibians. “Everyone jumped to the conclusion that the frogs and salamanders were dying after a clearcut had occurred,” said Ray Semlitsch, professor of biological sciences in the MU College of Arts and Science. “Anecdotal data accumulated through the years indicated there were potentially three things amphibians could do: stay and die, retreat underground or evacuate the site. We have never been sure of how they respond to strong habitat changes, especially behaviorally.” Semlitsch and his graduate students at MU found, during a period of two years, that significantly more salamanders and frogs evacuated clearcut treatments than entered, although the researchers cannot say what portion also may have died or retreated underground. Documenting this evacuation response is important because animals are potentially available later for re-colonization once the forest begins to grow back.
