Ecol 483/583 – Herpetology Lab 3: Amphibian Diversity 2: Anura Spring 2010
Ecol 483/583 – Herpetology Lab 3: Amphibian Diversity 2: Anura Spring 2010 P.J. Bergmann & S. Foldi (Modified from Bonine & Foldi 2008) Lab objectives The objectives of today’s lab are to: 1. Familiarize yourself with Anuran diversity. 2. Learn to identify local frogs and toads. 3. Learn to use a taxonomic key. Today’s lab is the second in which you will learn about amphibian diversity. We will cover the Anura, or frogs and toads, the third and final clade of Lissamphibia. Tips for learning the material Continue what you have been doing in previous weeks. Examine all of the specimens on display, taking notes, drawings and photos of what you see. Attempt to identify the local species to species and the others to their higher clades. Quiz each other to see which taxa are easy for you and which ones give you troubles, and then revisit the difficult ones. Although the Anura has a conserved body plan – all are rather short and rigid bodied, with well- developed limbs, there is an incredible amount of diversity. Pay close attention to some of the special external anatomical traits that characterize the groups of frogs you see today. You will also learn to use a taxonomic key today. This is an important tool for correctly identifying species, especially when they are very difficult to distinguish from other species. 1 Ecol 483/583 – Lab 3: Anura 2010 Exercise 1: Anura diversity General Information Frogs are a monophyletic group comprising the order Anura. Salientia includes both extant and extinct frogs. Frogs have been around since the Triassic (~230 ma). -

Listed as the Gooseberry allotment by the Manti-La Sal National Forest (MLSNF), it has had a different name since 2012: White Mesa Cultural and Conservation Area (WMCCA), with reference to the nearby Ute Mountain Ute Tribe town of White Mesa. It also has a different man- agement situation: No cattle grazing, at least until 2021. Under a Memo of Under- Meadow diversity at work: Hesperostipa co- standing between the Ute Mountain Ute mata and Koeleria macrantha...and one Tribe, Grand Canyon Trust, and the Forest sedge. Photo by Mary O'Brien. Service, this is the one area in the entire 1.2-million acre MLSNF that is being permitted to be free of livestock grazing. The cattle-free status of WMCCA was one of three reasons Sue Smith, a retired comput- er scientist and high school science teacher living in Prescott, Arizona, decided to study its native grasses for a Utah State University masters degree in Natural Resource Management. -
