Golden toads laid their eggs in shallow pools of water between the roots of cloud forest trees. Golden toad tadpoles lived in shallow pools of water on the cloud forest floor before developing into toadlets. Over warm ocean water, clouds form higher in the atmosphere. Golden toads had highly specialized reproductive habitat. Golden toads were found only in the cloud forest of Monteverde, Costa Rica. The fossil record and current trends show that highly specialized species with small populations and narrow ranges are highly susceptible to extinction. Spring 1987 was the driest spring on record for Monteverde. All the golden toad tadpoles might have died during the spring of 1987 because their pools dried up before the young could lead a fully terrestrial life. The drier conditions at Monteverde in 1987 might have been caused by clouds forming higher in the atmosphere,…arrow_forwardWhich of the following descriptions does not apply to a multicellular fungus? the mushroom is a transient structure that produces spores and dies back the mycelium represents the dominant life stage spores can be produced as a part of sexual or asexual reproduction the fruiting body is composed of only diploid cells different individuals can have different mating typesarrow_forward

In the soil beneath the fungi is an ever-extending mycelium. As the mycelium spreads to seek out more food, it sometimes will produce the fungi we see above ground to produce and release spores. The diagram on the right depicts the outline of a fairy ring that has appeared overnight in an open meadow, as viewed from above. The ring represents the farthest advance of this mycelium through the soil. The letters A-D represent locations with respect to that ring which are all 0.5 meters below the soil surface.
