Effects of the interaction between genetic diversity and UV-B radiation on wood frog fitness.

Conservation biology : the journal of the Society for Conservation Biology - 1 Jun 2006

Weyrauch Shauna L, Grubb Thomas C

Abstract excerpt

Genetic diversity may buffer amphibian populations against environmental vicissitudes. We hypothesized that wood frogs (Rana sylvatica)from populations with lower genetic diversity are more susceptible to ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation than those from populations with higher diversity. We used RAPD markers to obtain genetic diversity estimates for 12 wood frog populations. We reared larval wood frogs from these...
