This research concerns an experimental analysis of amphibian            community organization.  Experiments in natural and artificial                  ponds will integrate the effects of habitat selection,                          disturbance, priority effects, and interphyletic competition with               previously studied impacts of intra- and interspecific                          competition and predation on the growth, survival, and species                  composition of anurans from the New Jersey Pine Barrens.  Field                 experiments will explore how habitat selection, priority effects,               and disturbance interact to set initial anuran guild composition.                                                                                               Ancillary studies of resource abundance will identify mechanisms                of interaction.  Experiments in artificial ponds will measure the               intensity of diffuse interphyletic competition from aquatic                     insects relative to intra- and interspecific competition among                  anurans.  These experiments will also separate the effects of                   vertebrate and invertebrate predation on interphyletic                          competition among tadpoles and insects.
