The focus species of these endangered species recovery programs are the Taylor\u2019s checkerspot butterfly, the western painted turtle and the Oregon spotted frog. While these are the main characters of our breeding programs, they are not the stars of this blog (heavy-handed foreshadowing). Taking care of three endangered species is busy work.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why we take whatever help we can get.<\/p>\n<p>Caring for amphibians means lots of cleaning. In the Conservation Corner there are a gridwork of tanks. This is where we keep our Oregon spotted frog tadpoles and adults. We feed our tadpoles blended up green vegetables. Not to say that tadpoles are messy eaters, but much of their veggies end up at the bottom of the tank. We do our best to clean most of this up, but what waste is left behind promotes growth of algae which pollutes the tanks, which we manage by changing the water in the tanks. Water changes are a necessary part of keeping any aquatic species, but it takes time and effort.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-6lb7n8o-89b2dbe3088ce460059b8457c2333c4e av_one_half  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lfn065jc-34d6de69df8408efd0b074d7a4a0dcce\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lfn065jc-34d6de69df8408efd0b074d7a4a0dcce img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lfn065jc-34d6de69df8408efd0b074d7a4a0dcce .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lfn065jc-34d6de69df8408efd0b074d7a4a0dcce av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-9  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img class='wp-image-37665 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-37665 avia_image ' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Conservation_Corner-scaled-1-810x1080.jpg' alt='' title='Conservation_Corner-scaled'  height=\"1080\" width=\"810\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-678yrk8-34d1c22725f0238cbf2e2b0890d718ed av_one_half  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_textblock  flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lfn06mgd-010d0d19e666834ca15f390ad20a02a9\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lfn06mgd-010d0d19e666834ca15f390ad20a02a9 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lfn06mgd-010d0d19e666834ca15f390ad20a02a9 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lfn06mgd-010d0d19e666834ca15f390ad20a02a9 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-11  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img class='wp-image-37669 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-37669 avia_image ' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Tanks-scaled-1-810x1080.jpg' alt='' title='Tanks-scaled'  height=\"1080\" width=\"810\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><section  class='av_textblock_section av-lfn07l8n-11e7c508d3c169b254c8cd5f714c68d5 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Come check out the Conservation Corner at the Greater Vancouver Zoo.

Daphnia or waterfleas, are tiny crustaceans which exist in any healthy freshwater ecosystem [1]. They help our breeding programs by cleaning our tadpole and frog tanks for us. While Lead Biologist Andrea jokes that Daphnia should be added to the payroll, they are happy to help for free. This is because Daphnia feed on algae, bacteria and other microscopic particles in water [1].

Here are some facts that will acquaint you with this tiny crustacean:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Daphnia get their colour from their diet. Green or transparent Daphnia, feed primarily on algae, while red or pink individuals feed on bacteria(Ebert, 2005).<\/li>\n<li>They are able to take on massive workloads because they reproduce rapidly. During their 2 month lifecycle, Daphnia can produce eggs approximately twice per week(Ebert, 2005).<\/li>\n<li>Since Daphnia are so numerous, they are commonly used as a study subject for scientists. They are responsible for advances in genetics, evolution and ecology(Altshuler, et al., 2011).<\/li>\n<li>Being filters of all things microscopic, Daphnia are often used to detect pollutants in water(Altshuler, et al., 2011).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Daphnia really are amazing and helpful little creatures. If there was an award for smallest creature with the biggest work effort, I would nominate Daphnia.<br \/>\nOn behalf of the Conservation Corner Crew, thank you Daphnia.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_5'  class='avia-section av-335tf3c-6e7b54380ea5fb419f0b58093121a075 main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-31  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  species-inner-content-intro-wrapper avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-16200'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div  class='flex_column av-2qq5lc8-7a3ca1a5388f8400420968f3bb253324 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-32  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  first flex_column_div  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-lfn0jtgp-8774e6f9b101bcb4b7b5a928590605d9 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h5>References<\/h5>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lfn0k6d1-ecab3f30cb789dfac0784e4be79a7ea6 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Altshuler, I., Demiri, B., Xu, S., Constantin, A., Yan, N.
