Bury RB, Gangle LC, Litrakis S. 2002. Inventory for amphibians and reptiles in the NPS Klamath Network: annual report 2002. Corvalis, OR
A report on the results of the inventorying of amphibians and reptiles in the National Parks in the Klamath region. The objectives of the study were: (1) To efficiently document the herpetofauna in each park. We will conduct species and habitat-specific surveys for suspected taxa in the better studied parks and to implement more widespread surveys in the less studied parks, such as WHIS and LABE. (2) To develop distribution and abundance data for species of special concern. We will target species which are suspected to be regionally rare or declining, such as the Cascades frog, California red-legged frog, foothill yellow-legged frog, and western pond turtle, or non-native species which may pose a threat to native species, such as the bullfrog. (3) To document biodiversity in wetland and aquatic habitats of the parks. We will be working to develop integrated methods for sampling these habitats and sharing information and biophysical data among the different inventory teams.
