Streams are unique habitats that are home to many different species of amphibian. But,  do changes in stream dynamics effect amphibian lifecycles? And if so, how?  This week I am joined by researcher, Madaline Cochrane and we discuss her paper, "Individual growth rates and size at metamorphosis increase with watershed area in a stream salamander." We focus our discussion on her work with Gyrinophilus porphyriticus (AKA the Spring Salamander) and how growth rate, behavior, and reproduction are all affected by variations in a stream biome.To read the paper please check out:https://esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/ecy.4217Exo Terra is our sponsor this week.
