The North American Reporting Center for Amphibian Malformations
Acknowledgments
The initial design of the Reporting Center was developed by Darren T. Burchill,

Brian E. Smith. We gratefully acknowledge the considerable advice offered by

Wildlife Service; Gary S. Casper, Milwaukee Public Museum; Kate Cleary, USGS;
Kathryn Converse, USGS; Sam Droege, USGS; Gary Fellers, USGS, Tracy Fredin,
Hamline University; Ed Hammer, EPA; Judy Helgen, Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency (MPCA); Michael J. Lannoo, Muncie Center for Medical Education; Michael

Wildlife Service; James E. Platz, Creighton University; Stanley Sessions, Hartwick
College; Joseph Tietge, EPA; Les Touart, EPA; and David B. Wake, University
of California-Berkeley. Photographs of malformed amphibians currently displayed
at the Web site were provided by Drew Catron, MPCA; Mark Crowley; Micah Funk;
Judy Helgen; Pieter Johnson, Center for Conservation Biology; and Stanley Sessions.
Implementation and Web-authoring was done by Darren T. Burchill, Shane C. Erstad,
Tim Fletcher, Kristen A. Klimstra, Tracy Koenig, Jack Lawrence, and James Moe.
Suzanne C. Fowle designed the logo. She and Jeffrey A. Jundt have coordinated
the Reporting Center. Betty R. Euliss assisted both with the Reporting Center
and with this report. The national wildlife refuge monitoring program was coordinated
by Laura Eaton-Poole and James Mattsson, both of the FWS. The Reporting Center
has been funded by the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency. Comments on this report by Sam Droege, Laura Eaton-Poole, Diane L. Larson,
James Mattsson, and two anonymous referees were much appreciated.
