Presentation Transcript

  1. Field Herpetology! Cranberry Lake Biological Station 2019 • We will explore the ecology, behavior, physiology, and general biology of amphibians and reptiles of the Adirondacks. Instructor: Mary Beth Kolozsvary, Ph.D. (and ESF alum!) Alex Roukis

  2. We will explore the life histories and ecology of salamanders, frogs, turtles, and snakes that tolerate the cold winter temperatures and short growing season of the Adirondacks. • Many of these species are small, cryptic, and are often overlooked. • CLBS is a great place to explore and study these species!

  3. Students will learn to identify amphibians and reptiles found throughout the Northeast and learn about the habitats they use, the dynamics of their populations, and uncover their fascinating natural histories.

  4. Fieldwork, both day and night, will emphasize the techniques to sample amphibians and reptiles within their biological communities, including methods to survey, capture, handle, sex, age, and to measure and assess the habitat of amphibians and reptiles. • Independent or small group projects, too!

  5. Several field trips to other Adirondack locations are planned.
