Duluth Frog Blog: Fairy Shrimp
http://duluthfrogblog.blogspot.com/2012/04/fairy-shrimp.html
Friday, April 27, 2012. Fairy shrimp are small crustaceans that live in the same small temporary wetlands that wood frogs use for breeding. These aquatic critters are fascinating to watch as they swim around upside down with their many leaf-like or feathery legs. I recently found large numbers of fairy shrimp swimming around developing wood frog eggs. There were hundreds of them! I had never seen this before, so I tried to capture some pictures. 15 fairy shrimp next to wood frog egg mass.

Saturday, July 23, 2011. Less than three months after the eggs were laid, young wood frogs are emerging from ponds and wetlands around Duluth.

Over the last two weeks wood frogs in Hartley Park transformed from 2 inch long tadpoles into froglets about 3/4" long. Wood frog at Gosner stage 40/41. Hindlimbs are fully developed, forelimbs are about to emerge from under skin. Another wood frog at Gosner stage 45. Wood frog...

This species is considered an early breeding species, but tends to breed at few weeks after wood frogs in the northern reaches of Minnesota.

Tuesday, July 17, 2012. Stories of frog malformations. Whatever happened to the ‘deformed frogs’ problem? This is a question that we get all the time. I have tried to answer it for Ask NRRI. Deformed frogs continue to be found across Minnesota and around the world, although rarely in huge outbreaks like that discovered in 1995 at Ney Pond in Le Sueur County, and other locations around Minnesota. Research continues to resolve uncertainties in the amphibian malformation phenomena. Sometime between 3 and 6:...
