英文摘要Despite occupying small land areas, riparian systems provision a large number of vertebrates, including amphibians, one of the most threatened vertebrate taxa. We associated capture rates of a fossorial desert anuran (Scaphiopus couchii) to non-native plant invasion and shrub encroachment via soil traits and habitat physiognomy in native, invaded, and shrub-encroached riparian habitats in the Sonoran Desert. We measured habitat and anurans at 18 sites along the San Pedro and Gila Rivers in three stand types based on dominant trees, cottonwood-willow forest (Populus-Salix), mesquite woodland (Prosopis), and non-native saltcedar stands (Tamarbc). Dominant tree species were useful descriptors of habitat physiognomy. Spadefoots were associated with xeroriparian habitat at Prosopis sites and nearly absent from Tamarbc sites. Soil moisture and texture heavily influenced spadefoot partitioning across forest types. Altering in-stream flow has modified riparian areas by causing xerification, Prosopis expansion, and proliferation of non-native species. The effects of Prosopis encroachment on this fossorial anuran may be less than Tamarbc invasion, which could be deleterious to many anurans. We suggest monitoring vulnerable amphibians and conservation measures to preserve native riparian habitat.
