Herpetofauna Inventory at Biscayne National Park in 2002-2003 - Data Package

Description

An inventory of amphibian species in Biscayne National Park (BISC) was conducted during 2002 and 2003. The goals of the project were to create a georeferenced inventory of amphibian species, use new analytical techniques to estimate proportion of sites occupied by each species, look for evidence of known stressors or problems that may lead to amphibian population decline (invasive species, disease, die-offs, and so forth), and to establish a baseline and methodology that could be used for future monitoring efforts. Visual encounter surveys and anuran vocalization surveys were the primary means of sampling, but opportunistic collections and nighttime road surveys were also used to augment the visual encounter methods for more rare or cryptic species.
