摘要: Horn, Scott, James L. Hanula, Michael D. Ulyshen, and John C. Kilgo. 2005. Abundance of green tree frogs insects in artificial canopy gaps a bottomland hardwood forest. Am. Midl. Nat. 153:321-326. Abstract: We found more (Hyla cinerea) than closed Of the 331 observed, 88% were gaps. Likewise, higher numbers biomasses captured open gap habitat. Flies most commonly collected insect group accounting for 54% total capture. These data suggest that one reason abundant was increased availability prey small provide early successional habitats are beneficial to frog populations.
