Climate Change as a Threat to Biodiversity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Klaus, S. P., &Lougheed, S. C. (2013). Changes in breeding phenology of eastern Ontario frogs over four decades.

Students can also visit the Ottawa U soundcloud where samples were taken from: https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/uottawa-naturewatch\/sets\/learn-about-the-frogs-of<\/a>, to become familiar with the different frog calls. Students then engage in a matching activity in which they match the type of frog with the call that it makes.
