Lecture by Lindsay Mountz

View Cal Poly Humboldt wildlife student Lindsey Mountz's lecture entitled “The Relationship between Pacific Treefrogs and Non-native Blackberries.” This 1-hour talk is part of the First Wednesday Lecture Series sponsored by Friends of the Arcata Marsh (FOAM). In her senior project — partially funded by FOAM — Lindsey researched the relationship between vegetative type and Pacific treefrog occupancy in the Gannon Slough Wildlife Area adjacent to the Arcata Marsh. Twenty 10×20 meter plots with varying plant cover (e.g., Himalayan blackberry, twinberry honeysuckle, grasses) were surveyed, to measure soil moisture, soil and air temperature, blackberry cover, and abundance of flying insects available as food. Lindsey aimed to determine whether there is a correlation between invasive blackberry presence and treefrog populations.
