www.npwrc.usgs.gov — Interest in amphibians continues to rise as people become more aware of this fascinating group of animals. To the uninitiated all frogs may look alike; ditto for salamanders (in the same manner that beginning birders are overwhelmed by the immense variety of small brown birds). One of the purposes of this checklist and online identification guide More...

armi.usgs.gov — At least 13 amphibian species are found on the Colorado Plateau, although some have very limited distributions in this bioregion. Amphibian declines have been documented in many parts of the world, but knowledge of amphibians on the Colorado Plateau is inadequate to determine population status or trends for most species. The U.S. Geological More...
