Herpetofauna Inventory at Big Cypress National Preserve in 2002-2003 – Data Package
An inventory of amphibian species in Big Cypress National Preserve (BICY) was conducted from 2002 to 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 any signs of amphibian decline (missing species, disease, die-offs, and so forth.), and to establish a protocol that could be used for future monitoring efforts. Survey methods used include visual encounter surveys (VES), anuran vocalization surveys and more limitedly, opportunistic collections and drift fence surveys. All of the amphibian species historically found in Big Cypress National Preserve were detected during this project.
