英文摘要 | The Coachella Valley of southeastern California has gradually developed a riparian herpetofauna since the conversion of desert land to agricultural and urban landscapes and the formation of the Salton Sea in the early 1900s. Most of these species originally spread from the Colorado River to the Imperial Valley through natural channel shifts long ago, and more recently through the All-American Canal. Some of these riparian species then moved northward into the Coachella Valley of Riverside County, situated at the north end of the Salton Sea, namely, Woodhouse's Toad (Anaxyrus woodhousii), Great Plains Toad (Anaxyrus cognatus), Rio Grande Leopard Frog (Lithobates berlandieri), Spiny Softshell (Apalone spinifera), and Checkered Gartersnake (Thamnophis marcianus). The Red-eared Slider (Trachemys scripta elegans) was introduced from captivity, and the American Bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) may have arrived from multiple sources. The most recent immigrant is the Rio Grande Leopard Frog. This species has colonized the agricultural southern part of the Coachella Valley and has begun to move into the urbanized northern portion. This frog has the potential to negatively affect native anurans if it spreads further. The current distribution, timing of introduction, and suspected origins of all riparian herpetofauna in the Coachella Valley are discussed. |
