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...
