William Barichivich
William "Jamie" Barichivich is a Wildlife Biologist at the USGS Wetland and Aquatic Research Center.
During his tenure with USGS he has studied a wide variety of organisms including marine turtles, sturgeon, and for the last 10 years, amphibians. Research has taken him from the Everglades in South Florida to Glacier National Park in Montana and as far west as Palau. He has a broad interest in a variety of topics including road mortality of wildlife, wetland hydrology, and amphibians.

Drought, deluge and declines: the impact of precipitation extremes on amphibians in a changing climate
The Class Amphibia is one of the most severely impacted taxa in an on-going global biodiversity crisis. Because amphibian reproduction is tightly associated with the presence of water, climatic changes that affect water availability pose a particularly menacing threat to both aquatic and terrestrial-breeding amphibians. We explore the impacts that one facet of climate change—that of...

American alligator digestion rate of blue crabs and its implications for stomach contents analysis
Stomach contents analysis (SCA) provides a snap-shot observation of a consumer's diet. Interpretation of SCA data can be complicated by many factors, including variation in gastric residence times and digestion rates among prey taxa. Although some SCA methods are reported to efficiently remove all stomach contents, the effectiveness of these techniques has rarely been tested for large...

Hurricane storm surge and amphibian communities in coastal wetlands of northwestern Florida
Isolated wetlands in the Southeastern United States are dynamic habitats subject to fluctuating environmental conditions. Wetlands located near marine environments are subject to alterations in water chemistry due to storm surge during hurricanes. The objective of our study was to evaluate the effect of storm surge overwash on wetland amphibian communities. Thirty-two wetlands in...

Low prevalence of chytrid fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis) in amphibians of U.S. headwater streams
Many declines of amphibian populations have been associated with chytridiomycosis, a disease caused by the aquatic fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). Despite the relatively high prevalence of chytridiomycosis in stream amphibians globally, most surveys in North America have focused primarily on wetland-associated species, which are frequently infected. To better understand the...
