Continuous Hydrologic and Water Quality Monitoring of Vernal Ponds. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

Article Abstract

Vernal ponds, also referred to as vernal pools, provide critical ecosystem services and habitat for a variety of threatened and endangered species. However, they are vulnerable parts of the landscapes that are often poorly understood and understudied. Land use and management practices, as well as climate change are thought to be a contribution to the global amphibian decline. However, more research is needed to understand the extent of these impacts. Here, we present methodology for characterizing a vernal pond's morphology and detail a monitoring station that can be used to collect water quantity and quality data over the duration of a vernal pond's hydroperiod. We provide methodology for how to conduct field surveys to characterize the morphology and develop stage-storage curves for a vernal pond. Additionally, we provide methodology for monitoring the water level, temperature, pH, oxidation-reduction potential, dissolved oxygen, and electrical conductivity of water in a vernal pond, as well as monitoring rainfall data. This information can be used to better quantify the ecosystem services that vernal ponds provide and the impacts of anthropogenic activities on their ability to provide these services.

The hydroperiod gradient drives species sorting in pace-of-life strategies but not in stressor sensitivity in Lestes damselfly larvae.

Sci Total Environ

December 2024

Laboratory of Evolutionary Stress Ecology and Ecotoxicology, University of Leuven, Charles Deberiotstraat 32, B-3000 Leuven, Belgium.

Many species sort along environmental gradients, whereby species traits are predicted to shift as integrated sets of life-history, behavioural and physiological traits thereby making up a fast-to-slow pace-of-life continuum. This has also been predicted to cause species differences in stressor sensitivity along such gradients with a faster pace-of-life causing a higher sensitivity. We tested for predictable differences in pace-of-life and in stressor sensitivity for a set of four Lestes damselfly species that separate along the hydroperiod gradient.

Accurately estimating effective population size ( ) is essential for understanding evolutionary processes and guiding conservation efforts. This study investigates estimation methods in spatially structured populations using a population of moor frog () as a case study. We assessed the behaviour of estimates derived from the linkage disequilibrium (LD) method as we changed the spatial configuration of samples.

In this study, the biodiversity of Chironomidae was investigated in Palmer Park Pond A, an urban vernal pond in Detroit, Michigan, USA. This study is developed as part of our ongoing Public Environmental Outreach Program at the Detroit Exploration and Nature Center in Palmer Park. Twenty-one Chironomidae species were discovered in and on the adjacent riparian vegetation of this pond using molecular and morphological methods.

Managing invasive hybrids with pond hydroperiod manipulation in an endangered salamander system.

Conserv Biol

April 2024

Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California, USA.

When invasive and endangered native taxa hybridize, the resulting admixture introduces novel conservation challenges. Across a large region of central California, a hybrid swarm consisting of admixed endangered California tiger salamanders (CTS) (Ambystoma californiense) and introduced barred tiger salamanders (BTS) (Ambystoma mavortium) has replaced native populations, threatening the genetic integrity of CTS and the vernal pool systems they inhabit. We employed a large-scale, genomically informed field experiment to test whether shortening breeding pond hydroperiod would favor native CTS genotypes.

Statewide prioritization of vernal pools for pond-breeding amphibians in New Jersey.

J Environ Manage

August 2023

Department of Biology, Monmouth University, 400 Cedar Avenue, West Long Branch, NJ, 07764, USA. Electronic address:

Vernal pools are required habitat of pond-breeding amphibians, yet their legal protections in the United States are not established, leaving vernal pools vulnerable to development and habitat fragmentation. Seasonally, amphibians migrate to breed in vernal pools. Roads and upland forest loss can jeopardize that migration, resulting in mortality.
