Abstract
The use of diatoms in the conservation management of Hewitt's ghost frog Distribution patterns of diatoms were investigated to determine the impact of shading on diatoms, which form the main diet of the endangered frog species, Heleophryne hewitti. Although diatom community composition is influenced by shade coverage, it does not affect tadpole grazing potential. The main factor threatening H. hewitti tadpoles is the degradation or loss of suitable habitat due to accumulation (pine needles, sediment etc.) and not degradation of water quality.
