| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study with the following objective: "1. Gather baseline data on amphibian species richness and relative abundance on selected golf courses in southern New England. 2. Assess habitat association patterns for each species. 3. Develop manageent guidelines that could be used to assess and enhance amphibian populations at golf courses located in other regions of the country based on this research." This three year study began in 1998. |

| USGA Summary Points: | Results indicate that most pond-breeding amphibian species in southern New England are habitat specialists during at least one stage of their complex life cycle, adults tend to be greater habitat specialists than metamorphs, and forest fragmentation is affecting dispersal by amphibian populations in the region. Surveys of 59 ponds at 32 golf courses in southern New England found that green frogs and bullfrogs dominated most of the ponds at golf courses in the region. Population sizes of adults did not fluctuate dramatically following golf course construction, with the exception of wood frog, marbled salamander, and red-backed slamander. |
