Episode 24. "Island Life in the Urban Jungle" NYC Amphibian Ecology with Dr. Jeremy Feinberg
Manage episode 291118143 series 2918770
Islands around the world are homes to amphibians that face unique challenges. Life on an island can be tough... But no place is tougher than New York... Many people don't realize that the NY Metropolitan area is comprised of several islands. In fact, The Bronx is the only Borough of NYC connected to then mainland. Brooklyn, Queens, Nassau and Suffolk counties all reside on Long Island, which is the largest island in the US. Due to dense human populations and significant habitat fragmentation, NY amphibians face challenges like no others. My guest tonight is Dr. Jeremy Feingberg and he is an expert on urban frogs. Jeremy is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Smithsonian Museum and he recently discovered a new species of Leopard Frog right here in New York City. Jeremy is also a native New Yorker and in this episode we discuss his work studying NY frogs, urban ecology, bioacoustics, and a whole host of other interesting topics.
