Among individual terrestrial ecosystem drivers, the temperature-driven NEE model was positively correlated with the observed CO2 patterns and explained the largest amount of variance across different latitude bands with an average R of 0.46.
A total of 43 trials were recorded from the terrestrial A. arnoldorum (10 individuals), 13 trials from the amphibious P. labrovittatus (2 individuals), and 12 trials from the aquatic B. caudolineata (3 individuals).
This suggests a favorable terrestrial environment where metamorphosing individuals continue to grow following the transition from the aquatic environment.
Many amphibian species have a naturally complex life cycle that involves both aquatic and terrestrial environments, directly exposing individuals to changes in environmental temperature and moisture over a single lifetime.
However, creating terrestrial connectivity by designing individual migration corridors across fragmented landscapes is arguably untenable at a national scale.
As Donham also told me last week, the company believes that there is still a tremendous amount of audio that currently doesn't get carried on terrestrial radio because the individual local markets are too small (think tennis play-by-play coverage) but that could attract a large audience online.
Each summer we captured and released between 1 and 52 (mean = 16.5) immature larval, paedomorph and terrestrial A. t. melanostictum individuals from in and around each sampling location.
Individuals are strictly terrestrial, are not thought to tolerate landing on water, and have no control over where they land once airborne.
