| "....I
studied the population ecology of the Ozark blind cave salamander,
Eurycea spelaea. We found that the larvae feed directly on bat guano.
We also looked at the resident population of Rana palustris and
looked for potential impacts on subterranean fauna through their
seasonal use of the caves. If you’d like a PDF of either of the
two resultant publications, you can download PDFs from my website
www.anotheca.com through the “CV” tab." |
