Like DMCC & Starr's Cave Nature Center On Wild River Ramblings Des Moines County Conservation’s Newsletter Winter 2015-16 Trematode By Frances Owen DMCC Naturalist Inside I was leading my campers back to the Nature Center after a quick trip to the This Issue compost bin when it happened. “A frog!” exclaimed one of children. As I turned, several campers were already converging on the lone amphibian. Calendar of Activities After several near escapes, the frog was apprehended and offered to me for .....page 2 examination. As I peeled back the girl’s fingers to peer inside, I didn’t initially notice anything peculiar. It was a tiny green frog (Rana clamitans), Trematode only about 3 cm in length, indicating it was likely a recent metamorph. I .....page 3 took possession of the frog to get a closer look and I realized this frog had a special story to tell. We all rushed back to the nature center, put some Winter Concert Series & water in a shallow tub, and I released the frog into its temporary home. As Public Programs we all gathered around, the children began to notice something strange. This frog had an extra leg. .....page 4 Green frogs are classified as amphibians. The word amphibian means “dual Cross Country Ski Rentals life” which refers to most amphibians living the first part of their life in …..page 5 water, and the second part on land. This group includes many different types of animals including frogs and toads, salamanders, newts, and Rent Starr’s Cave caecilians (little known worm-like creatures). The key to how our green .....Back Page frog ended up with an extra leg has to do with the amphibian life cycle. While many amphibians live on land for the majority of their life, most require standing water for reproduction. Amphibian eggs are small, gelatinous globs, and must remain moist throughout incubation. After wiggling their way out, most amphibians begin life as water-dwelling larvae (tadpoles) breathing through gills on the side of their head. Most amphibians replace those gills with lungs as adults, so permeable skin helps them acquire oxygen when underwater for long periods of time.

Even aquatic Photo by insects like water scorpions and dragonfly nymphs Frances Owen will feed on tadpoles. Our green frog’s extra leg was the result of a very different predator, a parasite called Ribeiroia ondatrae, a trematode. Trematodes are small parasitic flatworms with a complex lifecycle. The trematode which infected our green frog likely began life as an egg, excreted through the waste of a predatory bird such as a heron or hawk. Once trematode eggs touch water, they hatch and search for a planorbid snail to live inside while they develop. From the snail, the parasitic larva emerge to infect a tadpole. These small free-swimming larvae find their way into a tadpole in an area where its limbs are developing. In doing this, it affects limb development in such a way that another leg can be formed. Limb malformations often cause infected frogs to become weaker and more susceptible to predation which causes the frog and trematode parasite to be eaten by a heron or other predatory bird. Once inside a bird, the parasite reproduces, the bird Trematode Life host excretes the parasite’s eggs through its waste, Cycle Diagram, courtesy of green- and the trematode lifecycle begins again. museum.org This trematode parasite is of no physical danger to humans since we are not part of its lifecycle. However, research suggests we might indirectly influence the number of frogs affected by these parasites. Increased nutrient runoff into aquatic environments, biodiversity loss, and climate change are all factors that can contribute to higher numbers of these parasitic worms.

We also agreed that sending material by mail (snail mail, as Traditional Dances . 16 email was not available then) would not be effective. So after spending several weeks of Wheat Futures . 16 preparation we held our first volunteer orientation. Needless to say, it was a success. I would like to acknowledge and thank those volunteers that were there with me in the beginning: Jan Bauman, Mike Richmond, Jim Pomranky and Teri Smalley.
