Hello All, =20
I have been looking for information/papers on the influence of salinity on amphibian populations in estuary systems and have not been successful. Many estuaries in Texas have problems with saltwater intrusion. Do you know of any studies that examine the influence of salinity on breeding sites, tadpoles, eggs, species composition, and/or stress and therefore susceptibility to disease? =20 Or, do you know of anyone who has collected salinity data and amphibian population data together and can rough out a few trend lines? =20 Thank you, =20 Shannon Torrence, PhD Upper Coast Conservation Program Coastal Fisheries Division Texas Parks and Wildlife Department 1502 F.M. 517 East Dickinson, Texas 77539 =20 281-534-0136 office 281-534-0122 fax =20
