Conclusions: Frogs and toad species were more abundant and diverse where habitat patch diversity was high or where there were forested wetland edges. Relative abundances of amphibian populations correlated positively with metrics such as the length of edge between forest and wetland, and negatively with the presence of agricultural and urban land. Thresholds/Learnings: Synopsis: This study examined landscape-level relationships for frogs and toads by measuring associations between relative abundance and species richness based on survey data derived from anuran calls and features of land cover maps for Iowa and Wisconsin. Relative abundances correlated positively with metrics such as the length of edge between forest...

A biologist and field crew from Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center visited sites nine times throughout the breeding season (late May to mid-July) to record counts of grassland birds. Surveyors applied North American Breeding Bird Survey methodology to obtain counts at On-, Near-, and Off-road Stops, but unlike the North American Breeding Bird Survey, which features a single survey at each site, three replicate surveys were conducted on back-to-back-to-back days during each survey period to facilitate estimation of detection and occupancy probabilities. Assignment of surveyors to individual sites followed a design protocol that allows observer effects to also be estimated. The biologist visited each site once...
