Description
Green Frog
(Lithobates clamitans)
BEHAVIOR: This species typically has a home range between 20 and 200 square meters (mean=60 sq. m.) *11406*. Males defend territories using site attachment, encounter calls, visual or postural displays, chasing intruders, jump attacks, and wrestling *11406*. Territory call varies from advertisement call. Territories are typically at the margins of ponds. Size and age appear to be the primary factors determining successful defense of a territory. Smaller males without territories may exhibit satellite behavior. This is usually performed when a territory has been abandoned and involves the interception of a female moving towards a calling male. This species also emits a high-pitched distress or alarm call before leaping to safety after being disturbed *11406* *1014*. This species is an opportunistic feeder, primarily choosing arthropods, snails and worms *11284*.
ORIGIN: This species is native to Virginia.
LIMITING FACTORS: This species is typically found wherever there is shallow, semi-permanent freshwater particularly along the edges of lakes and ponds *11407*.
POPULATION PARAMETERS: This is an abundant species found wherever there is shallow fresh water *11407*. Year class mortality can occur with severe freezing; ponds with overwintering tadpoles may freeze *11406*.
AQUATIC/TERRESTRIAL ASSOCIATIONS: This species is found in freshwater springs, streams, ditches, and along the edges of lakes and ponds *11407*. They will use temporary and permanent bodies of water for mating *11406*. It may be found in the grassy margins of standing water or in swamps and marshes *11284*. Its habitat preferences closely overlap those of the bullfrog.
