Different approaches to population modeling provide different types of information about population structure and viability. Animal-habitat models may be used to identify quantitative relationships between environmental variables and species' occurrences and demographic models m…
Ranavirus infection has caused severe disease and mass mortality in UK common frogs for more than twenty years resulting in serious declines in some populations. The pathogen has been studied since 1992. These studies generated two valuable resources exploited in this thesis: an…
Understanding interspecies patterns and the mechanisms that generated them is key in macroevolutionary theory. Often, these patterns can be attributed to selection affecting groups of lineages in different manners. Under the ecomorphological paradigm, we investigated the macroev…

Crawfish Frogs (Rana areolata) have been called the most secretive frog in North America, and it is unusual in the twenty-first century - in the most scientifically advanced country in the world - that basic discoveries can still be made on an animal that inhabits a quarter of t…
Frog is very worried about a speech that he has to give in front of his frog class on breath, until his animal friends teach him their different methods of breathing and how they can help him reach certain states of mind.
