Abstract/Contents: | Discusses frog and salamander survival during the winter season, explaining that "regional differences in the severity of the season...have a profound influence on how frogs and salamanders spend the winter." Describes frog and salamander hibernation sites, highlighting ponds; wooded areas; streams; and travel corridors as "a place where they can be protected from the worst extremes of winter." Profiles several North American frog types, including water frogs; toads; treefrogs; chorus and cricket frogs; and spadefoots. |
