Abstract

Amphibian biology is intricate, and there are many inter-related factors that need to be understood before establishing successful Conservation Breeding Programs (CBPs). Nutritional needs of amphibians are highly integrated with disease and their husbandry needs, and the diversity of developmental stages, natural habitats, and feeding strategies result in many different recommendations for proper care and feeding. This review identifies several areas where there is substantial room for improvement in maintaining healthy ex situ amphibian populations specifically in the areas of obtaining and utilizing natural history data for both amphibians and their dietary items, achieving more appropriate environmental parameters, understanding stress and hormone production, and promoting better physical and population health. Using a scientific or research framework to answer questions about disease, nutrition, husbandry, genetics, and endocrinology of ex situ amphibians will improve specialists' understanding of the needs of these species. In general, there is a lack of baseline data and comparative information for most basic aspects of amphibian biology as well as standardized laboratory approaches. Instituting a formalized research approach in multiple scientific disciplines will be beneficial not only to the management of current ex situ populations, but also in moving forward with future conservation and reintroduction projects. This overview of gaps in knowledge concerning ex situ amphibian care should serve as a foundation for much needed future research in these areas.

18. "FOREVER GREEN.".

Author

Gagliardo, Ron and Laufer, Geri

Abstract

The article talks about the partnership of the Atlanta Botanical Garden with Ecuador concerning plant adaptations and biodiversity. The research collections and public displays of the garden show its plants that are from Ecuador. The author claims that the partnership of the garden with the country is strong because of the collaborations with Maquipucuna Reserve and Siempre Verde. He concludes that guests of the garden may appreciate the forests of the country through the plants displayed in the garden.

19. Native Orchids in Tissue Culture AT THE ATLANTA BOTANICAL GARDEN.

Author

Gagliardo, Ron and Laufer, Geri

Abstract

The article discusses the tissue culture of native orchids in the Native Plant Conservation Program of the Atlanta Botanical Garden in Georgia. The program is involved in providing horticultural assistance for native orchids through greenhouse and laboratory methods to prevent extinction due to over-collection. The use of micropropagation as a conservation tool is explained.

20. No Extinction on Our Watch.

Author

Gagliardo, Ron, Mendelson, Joe, and Laufer, Geri

Abstract

The article presents information on the Panama Rescue Program initiated by the Amphibian Survival Alliance which aims to prevent amphibian extinction. The fungal diseases that cause such extinction is revealed. Strategies used by the program to meet the basic challenges brought about by the disease are described. The significance of a pilot project initiated during the summer of 2005 is revealed.
