| Division: | Engineering & Computing Sciences | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Quinte | | City: | Picton, ON | | School: | Harry J. Clarke P.S. | | Abstract: | Northern leopard frogs were collected in recessed buckets located on partially enclosed test plots in order to investigate whether manmade surfaces on an autumn migratory route would be avoided. The route over an undisturbed vegetation control surface was chosen most frequently, followed by cut grass, packed soil, gravel and concrete. |
