Abstract/Contents: | "Golf courses can be compatible with wildlife when management practices support natural habitats. For example, several amphibians use ponds for larval development, and many adult species congregate around ponds during the year. Golf courses can benefit local amphibian populations because they frequently have ponds on their property. Managing golf courses in ways that help amphibians can provide benefits such as tadpole grazing on algae, young salamanders eating mosquito larvae, and adult amphibians feeding voraciously on nuisance insects." |
