A V amphi 1. salama. mosquitu min. SUI. B amphi 2 salama. mosquitu min. SUI. Figure 18.22 Effect of predation on tadpole communities. A, Proportion of tadpoles in each predator treatment. Tanks with no predators are shown in the first set of bars, tanks with salamanders are the next three sets, and tanks with fish are the last three sets. B, The Shannon diversity index (see Bio-Math Exploration 18.3) for prey exposed to different predators. From Choloral and Resetarits Minnows and sunfish increased abundances of one species of tadpole, southern toad for the minnow and southern leopard frog for the sunfish. The effect of the newt was no different than the control, suggesting it had no effect on the tadpole community. Salamanders and mosquitofish had effects on the composition of the community, but had no effect on diversity of the community. Spring peepers are the best competitors in the tadpole community, as evidenced by their increase in response to salamander predators.
