Reproduction of Amphibians in Natural and Anthropogenic Temporary Pools in Managed Forests

Vernal-pool breeding amphibians often oviposit in anthropogenic pools formed during industrial forest-management activities, as well as in natural ephemeral pools. We quantified wood frog (Rana sylvatica) and spotted salamander (Ambystoma maculatum) reproductive effort and metamorph emergence, pool hydroperiods and environmental features, and the density of natural and anthropo- genic pools across the landscape to compare the reproductive effort...
