igsaceeswb00.er.usgs.gov:8080 — From the Web site: "The Amphibian Research and Monitoring Initiative (ARMI) National Atlas for Amphibian Distributions (or simply, the ARMI Atlas), is a compilation of current and historic records of amphibian occurrences. These records are from published, peer-reviewed scientific literature, museum records, state and regional herpetological More...

www.npwrc.usgs.gov — Interest in amphibians continues to rise as people become more aware of this fascinating group of animals. To the uninitiated all frogs may look alike; ditto for salamanders (in the same manner that beginning birders are overwhelmed by the immense variety of small brown birds). One of the purposes of this checklist and online identification guide More...

armi.usgs.gov — The U.S. Geological Survey's Amphibian Research and Monitoring Initiative (ARMI) is a multidisciplinary effort to determine the status and trends of amphibians in the U.S., research the causes for amphibian declines, and provide scientific information to decision-makers to help halt or reverse declines. This website includes information on ARMI's More...

armi.usgs.gov — At least 13 amphibian species are found on the Colorado Plateau, although some have very limited distributions in this bioregion. Amphibian declines have been documented in many parts of the world, but knowledge of amphibians on the Colorado Plateau is inadequate to determine population status or trends for most species. The U.S. Geological More...

fresc.usgs.gov — The Conservation Genetics Lab carries out molecular analysis, pedigree analysis, modeling, data management, and cryogenic sample repository. As a part of this research, the lab investigates the effectiveness of molecular markers used to enhance enforcement of the Endangered Species Act policy. During the past 15 years, this research has involved More...

www.nwrc.usgs.gov — The south-central region includes the States of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana. We are currently conducting research projects designed to monitor amphibians on Federal lands in these States and to research possible causes of declines in amphibian populations. These potential threats include loss or degradation of habitat, More...

fresc.usgs.gov — ARMI is an initiative of agencies within the United States Department of the Interior to measure, understand, and respond to effects of environmental change upon the Nation's amphibians. Amphibians have been disappearing from many locations around the world and reports of declines have increased in recent decades. Some of the most dramatic More...

sofia.usgs.gov — This project uses data on detection of amphibian species after repeated sampling at a site to estimate the occupancy rate of various amphibian species (MacKenzie et al., 2002). Declines in amphibian populations have been documented for many regions and habitat types worldwide (Alford and Richards, 1999). No single cause for declines has been More...

www.cerc.usgs.gov — The primary goal of the proposed research is to evaluate selenium and atrazine exposure and effects to fish, amphibians, and waterfowl that utilize the Refuge. The following subordinate objectives will be met to investigate selenium exposure and effects to wildlife on the Refuge: 1.Measure selenium concentrations and total organic content in More...

www.werc.usgs.gov — Native amphibian and reptile populations worldwide are under threat from exotic invasive species of plants and animals, including other reptiles and amphibians. As habitats are changed and plant community organization is modified by exotic species, delicate relationships between plants and animals are altered or eliminated, creating a negative More...

www.fort.usgs.gov — The boreal toad (Bufo boreas) is rare over much of its range and declines have been documented or are suspected in many areas of the West, including the northern Rocky Mountains. This issue overview evaluates the hypothesis that fire suppression and exclusion could cause decline of the boreal toad (Bufo boreas) in the northern Rocky Mountains.

www.fort.usgs.gov — The Department of the Interior's Amphibian Research and Monitoring Initiative (ARMI) is designed to determine where populations of amphibians are present, to monitor specific apex populations, and to investigate potential causes of decline and deformity. The Rocky Mountain Region of ARMI encompasses Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico. Two More...
