Foothill yellow-legged frog (Rana boylii) surveys in Oregon 2019

We used visual surveys and environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling to document the presence of all life stages of foothill yellow-legged frogs (Rana boylii) at historically occupied sites. We visited 52 stream reaches (sites) on federal and private lands between June and September of 2019. This dataset includes counts of amphibians, crayfish, and fish observed during each site survey, as well as habitat and water sampling covariates.
Our objective was to add to information on the current distribution of Rana boylii in Oregon and on potential stressors (i.e., invasive crayfish and pathogens) by confirming presence at historic sites in Oregon using a combination of eDNA sampling and visual surveys.

expert advice; identification keys
After being trained on proper species identification in the field, crew members used a variety of resources to ensure species identifications were robust. If an animal could not be positively identified during a survey, it was captured with a dip-net and examined closely. If any uncertainty remained, the observer referred to a field guide and/or took photos of the animal to be reviewed by an expert.
