Supported by the U.S. Geological Survey and the National Park Service Inventory and Monitoring program an amphibian and reptile inventory was conducted in Grand Teton (GRTE) and Yellowstone (YELL) National Parks from 2000-2003. The work consisted of surveying more than 150 sites in 13 catchments in GRTE and 466 sites in 19 catchments in YELL. The project had three main components: systematic surveys, targeted species surveys, and apex monitoring at a long-term study area. The project provided the first systematically collected amphibian occurrence data for the two parks and included remote areas where amphibians had not previously been documented. The study resulted in an updated list of herpetofauna in the parks, species distribution data, and amphibian disease information. Both ranavirus and chytrid fungal disease were present in amphibian populations in YELL.
