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.

A simple technique for trapping Siren lacertian, Amphiuma means, and other aquatic vertebrates A simple technique for trapping Siren lacertian, Amphiuma means, and other aquatic vertebrates
We describe a commercially-available funnel trap for sampling aquatic vertebrates. The traps can be used in heavily vegetated wetlands and can be set in water up to 60 cm deep without concern for drowning the animals. They were especially useful for capturing the aquatic salamanders Siren lacertina and Amphiuma means, which have been difficult to capture with traditional sampling methods...

The effectiveness of a barrier wall and underpasses in reducing wildlife mortality on a heavily traveled highway in Florida The effectiveness of a barrier wall and underpasses in reducing wildlife mortality on a heavily traveled highway in Florida
Because of high numbers of animals killed on Paynes Prairie State Preserve, Alachua County, Florida, the Florida Department of Transportation constructed a barrier wall-culvert system to reduce wildlife mortality yet allow for passage of some animals across the highway. During a one year study following construction, we counted only 158 animals, excluding hylid treefrogs, killed in the...

Using ground-placed PVC pipes to monitor hylid treefrogs: Capture biases Using ground-placed PVC pipes to monitor hylid treefrogs: Capture biases
We sampled a population of two species of hylid treefrogs using 90 vertical ground-placed PVC pipes of 3 diameters positioned along a 1500-m transect at a forest-open pond ecotone in north-central Florida in order to identify potential capture biases. We recorded 1,981 treefrog observations (778 unmarked, 1,203 recaptures) in 8 months. Our results identified species-specific seasonal and...
