Amphibian breeding and climate change: Importance of snow in the mountains

Article Abstract:

A significant relationship has been found between air temperature and phenology with earlier breeding associated with warmer air temperatures for amphibians. The data used from species in mountain habitats show that the behavior of montane organisms is driven more by the timing of snowmelt than by temperature and winter snow accumulation can be a better predictor of breeding phenology than temperature for these species.

Population structure and cryptic evolutionary units in the alligator snapping turtle

Article Abstract:

Alligator snapping turtles are found in the Gulf of Mexico from Florida to Texas. They were harvested from the 1960s through the 1980s. Genetic studies of 158 specimens across the geographical range showed many drainages are distinct management units. The partitioning of the alligator snapping turtle into river-specific populations has applications to other riverine species.

Comparison of marine and terrestrial protected areas under federal jurisdiction in the United States

Article Abstract:

A comparative study is done on the marine and terrestrial areas under federal jurisdiction to provide a quantitative assessment of the differences between the conservation of land and sea in the United States. The results suggest that marine sanctuaries are fewer in number, smaller in area and smaller in percentage of area covered than the terrestrially protected areas.
