  • 2.07 Frogs and Wetlands
    Chapter 2.7 — Frogs and wetlands • 161 2.7 Frogs and wetlands Dr Arthur White Biosphere Environmental Consultants Pty Ltd Australia Abstract Australian frogs are remarkably diverse in their life styles and their use of wetlands. Our understanding of the ecological needs of frogs is incomplete but we do know some of the major requirements for survival, such as the need for clean water, the need for safe foraging areas, the need for shelter from predators and adverse weather conditions, the need for minimal habitat stress (as this increases the susceptibility of frogs to disease). The design of wetlands must take into account these over-riding requirements, plus the specific requirements that are unique to each frog species. In this paper, I refer to the management of the Green and Golden Bell Frog during the establishment of the Sydney Olympic site as an example of sorts of considerations that are required in managing frogs and wetlands. Chapter 2.7 — Frogs and wetlands • 162 Australian Frogs 2. Air pollution: massive amounts of Sulphur Dioxide and Nitrogen Dioxide (and There are about 250 described frog species in other gases) have been released into the Australia (Anstis 2013). This is a surprisingly high atmosphere since the Industrial Revolution. number of frog species for such an arid continent. These gases combine with moisture in the Australian frogs have had to adapt of the vagaries air and create toxic substances that kill frogs, of Australia’s climate and can survive in areas where other animals and plants.

  • The Stomatopod Crustacea of Guam
    Micronesica 35-36:547-562. 2003 An annotated checklist of ophiuroids (Echinodermata) from Guam JOHN A. STARMER1 Marine Laboratory University of Guam Mangilao, Guam 96923 USA Abstract—Forty-seven ophiuroid species are recorded from the island of Guam. One species, Ophiarthum pictum, is known only from the literature. Ophiuroids identified as Ophiolepis cf. cincta may represent an undescribed species. Specimens of Ophiocoma cf. erinaceus and Ophionereis cf. fusca, respectively, display previously unrecorded structural and color characters. Amphiura duncani was found only in Apra Harbor and may be introduced. Introduction The earliest collection of ophiuroids from Guam appears to be three specimens collected by Hornbostel in 1923 and 1924. They are housed at the B.P. Bishop Museum in Hawaii and are identified as two specimens of Ophiocoma erinaceus and an Ophiothrix sp. A. H. Clark (1954) provided the first published records for four species from the island: Ophiocoma scolopendrina, Ophiarthum pictum, Ophiarachnella gorgonia, and Ophiarachnella infernalis. Devaney (1978) published a record of Ophiomastix caryophyllata from Apra Harbor. Few of the numerous ecological surveys published by the University of Guam Marine Laboratory (UOGML) as technical reports mention ophiuroids. Chernin et al. (1977) list Ophiocoma erinaceus and O. pica from Agat. A survey of “pristine marine communities” recorded only five ophiuroid from eleven marine habitats surveyed (Stojkovich 1977): Ophiocoma erinaceus (Double Reef, Cocos Lagoon, Ajayan Bay), Ophiocoma sp. (Double Reef), Ophiothrix sp. (Cetti Bay) and Macrophiothrix longipeda (Cocos Lagoon). Randall (1978) lists two Ophiocoma sp. and one Ophioderma sp. from Tumon Bay and an Ophiocoma sp. from Agana and Agat Bays. Eldredge (1979) lists Macrophiothrix longipeda and Ophiocoma erinaceus from Cocos and Agat and Ophiarthum elegans and Ophiocoma pica from Agat.

Included are graphics, written and oral histories, maps and photographs that help to illustrate the character, physical proportions, iconography, configurations and sequences of the street life in Hagåtña during the periods of; early history, pre-war and colonial times, wartime, post war and then into contemporary periods. The cultural resources gathered recount life in the city and how the Hagåtña residents and islandwide residents used and interacted in the city. Two groupings of activities became evident: the normal day-to-day activities of the city and then the importance of special events. As the seat of the Spanish colonial government, the US Military government of the island, and then into the civilian government special events included inaugurations, religious festivals like the “Santa Maria de la Camarin” procession and the village fiesta, school ceremonies and graduations, the post-war Liberation day parades and carnivals. The conventional pre-war day-to-day events again included activities related to the Catholic Church, and political events.
