These cleared patches of forest in Barnwell County, South Carolina, are parts of experimental arrays that Raymond D. Semlitsch and colleagues studied to determine the effects of timber harvesting on pond-breeding amphibians. Their study, which took place in different regions of the country, is described in the article that starts on p. 853. Photograph: Gabrielle J. Graeter. Inset: These three amphibian species are likely to be affected by forest disturbances in the region. From the top are Ambystoma opacum, the marbled salamander; Abystoma maculatum, the spotted salamander; and Hyla chrysoscelis, Cope's grey tree frog. Photographs: Brian D. Todd (A. opacum), Daniel J. Hocking (A. maculatum), and Brian D. Todd (H. chrysoscelis).
