Amphibian Research and Monitoring InitiativeWhy Study Amphibians?Reports of declines in amphibian populations highlighted the need for data on the potential causes and how amphibians status could be improved in the United States. ApproachAmphibian Research and Monitoring Initiative (ARMI) scientists divide their time between research and robust monitoring on DOI lands. The research projects vary regionally, reflecting local conservation priorities. StructureARMI is composed of researchers from the Biology, Water, and Mapping Divisions of USGS, making this a truly interdisciplinary program. The country is divided into 7 regions (blocks of States), each with at least one principle investigator from Biology and Water.
