US EditionB.C. frog relocation project aims to better understand conservation practice
- University of British Columbia student Megan Winand conducted a two-year study in partnership with Ducks Unlimited Canada and the B.C. Ministry of Water, Land, and Resource Stewardship to understand the impacts of translocation on Columbia spotted frogs.
- The study involved capturing Columbia spotted frogs from the Mayook Wetland in southeastern B.C. And dividing them into three groups: those left in their original habitat, those moved a short distance, and those relocated to a farther distance. The objective was to evaluate the impact of translocation distance on their survival and movement.
- By analyzing the field data, Winand aims to provide valuable insights into the movements and survival rates of translocated frogs, which will contribute to the understanding of ecosystem health and conservation strategies. Researchers also hope to explore topics such as resource competition, food competition, disease, and genetics in future research.
