Rawhouser, Ashley 20201020 tabular digital data https://doi.org/10.5066/P9HX91B2 This data set is an amalgamation of twenty-nine original data sets, which represent amphibian surveys in the seven national parks comprising the North Coast and Cascades Network (NCCN) of the National Park Service. The data were collected from 1984-2005, and include the localities of 19 species of amphibians at various life stages, 18 native to the Pacific Northwest and one invasive species. In order to access comprehensive information about amphibians in the parks, the NCCN desired to consolidate disparate amphibian survey data sets into one database. 1984 2005 ground condition Complete None planned -124.8300 -120.9200 49.0000 46.1300 Western Washington and northwest Oregon, USA.

Grouping queries were written to examine the proper spelling and standardization of all text fields. Range queries were written to confirm that numerical values were not outside a reasonable range for a particular field. Bounding dates were confirmed as correct. The raw databases were reviewed to confirm that the data had been pulled into the database correctly. Duplicate entries were eliminated when possible. Species codes that were unidentifiable in the original data set (probably due to typographical errors) were excluded. Records of non-amphibians were excluded. "Hyla regilla" and "Pseudacris regilla" both refer to the Pacific treefrog. There are three records (1425, 1451, 1452) for which the UTM northing coordinates are incomplete and therefore not mappable. Blank cells throughout the data set indicate that no data were provided for those cells. Coordinates were displayed in ArcMap to confirm positional accuracy. Not applicable. Data were received from data managers and scientists and imported into a Microsoft Access database. 2005 Data were kept in their original form when possible, but in some circumstances it was necessary to alter the values for the consolidated version. The most common occurrence of this was when a source database listed one species detection at one location, but included multiple life stages and counts. For example, a Rana cascadae detection at a single site might be recorded as “T, A” with a species count of 20. This indicated that a total of 20 tadpoles and adults were found but these stages were combined into one record. The consolidated database that we created stores each stage as a separate record. In this situation, we duplicated the site record with the first record indicating a detection of “T” and the second record indicating a detection of “A”. Because of our inability to then distinguish the count of tadpoles from the count of adults, we changed the count values to “<20?” for both species records. 2005 Minor re-formatting was applied to the source data. Year-only dates were moved to the “notes” field so that full dates could be sorted properly, elevational data provided in feet were converted to meters, and township-range-section coordinates were converted to UTMs at http://www.esg.montana.edu/gl/trs-data.html (and therefore are only estimates and not exact locations). We excluded records containing ambiguous or questionable species codes and references to non-amphibians, and standardized the spelling of common names and life stages. 2005 NCCN_amphibians_1984-2005 Comma-separated values (.csv) spreadsheet.
