This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808) provides $108,170 to the University of Montana to evaluate threats to at-risk amphibian species in the western United States. The project aims to investigate how factors such as drought, non-native predators, habitat loss, and pathogens are impacting the distribution and abundance of priority amphibian species including the Northern Leopard Frog, Arizona Toad, Chiricahua Leopard Frog, and Lowland Leopard Frog. The research will involve compiling historical amphibian distribution data, conducting remote sensing and field surveys to assess current threats, and disseminating findings to USGS and partner agencies to inform conservation strategies. A peer-reviewed journal article will also be produced. The project period runs from September 2024 to September 2029.
