Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study with the following objectives: "1. Determine the pre-construction population size for amphibians breeding at ponds within the boundaries of a proposed golf course. 2. Determine pre-construction travel corridors and movement patterns for amphibians at this same site. 3. Quantify population size and movement patterns following construction on the golf course." States that "experiments conducted in 1998 showed that amphibians preferred to move through wooded habitats rather than turf, and grass height did not affect frog movement patterns." This three-year study began in 1998. |
