More than 35 years later, Bdellovibrio biology is undergoing a revival owing to the original, pioneering genetics work of Thomashow and colleagues (13), which has been followed up by genome sequencing and the development of new gene inactivation methods to study the function of these bacteria (32, 42, 60).
They also have five pairs of eyes. The Freshwater Leech is a parasite that feeds on the blood of fish, frogs, turtles, and mammals. It should not be confused with other leeches, most of which prey only on insects, snails, and small creatures.
Cascades frogs have gold eyes and long hind legs. They live in moist mountain meadows and damp bogs and forests. Home is usually a shallow pond, marsh or small stream.Studies indicate that populations are increasingly small, and some populations may be adversely affected by pollution and increasing sunlight levels.orthern Red-legged Frog (Rana aurora). Red-legged frogs like cool damp forests and wetlands. Adults have red underlegs, hence their name. Their decline in the northwest is due, in part, to habitat loss and invasive bullfrogs. Fun fact: Itâs unlikely youâll ever hear a red-legged frog call.
