Population dynamics of the Columbia spotted frog (Rana luteiventris): inference from long-term demography
… population of the Columbia spotted frog (Rana luteiventris) in relation to climate variation over a ten-year period.</p> <p>I documented an increase in survival and breeding probability as severity of winter decreased. Therefore, a warming climate with less severe winters is likely to …

Predicting Amphibian Occurrence Based on Wetland and Landscape Level Factors in Montana
… of Ambystoma tigrinum, Bufo boreas, and Rana luteiventris was best predicted by landscape covariates. Models with a combination of local and landscape covariates were best supported for Rana pipiens, Bufo woodhousii, Pseudacris maculata, and Pseudacris regilla. The probability of …

Impact of Chytrid fungus pathogen on the skin microbiome of frogs in northern Idaho and Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge, Washington
… of Fish of Game, Columbia spotted frogs (Rana luteiventris) from northern Idaho were swabbed to detect Bd and collect bacteria from the skin microbiome. Our study found Bd was prevalent in low infection intensities in 80% of 153 sites in the northern Idaho panhandle. Amplicon barcoded …

Evaluating efficacy of anti-Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis probiotic treatment on Pacific Chorus Frogs (Pseudacris regilla) at current and modeled climate change temperatures
… (Pseudacris regilla) and Columbia spotted frogs (Rana luteiventris) in Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge (TNWR) as potential probiotics. One of these isolates, identified as Pseudomonas silesiensis, was tested as a probiotic treatment on P. regilla. Sixty frogs were collected from TNWR and …

Interactive effects of wildfire and disturbance history on amphibians and their parasites
… macrodactylum) and Columbia spotted frog (Rana luteiventris) were resistant to change during the first 6 years after wildfire, but declined over longer time periods in areas of high-severity fire. In contrast, boreal toad (Anaxyrus boreas) occupancy increased greatly during the 3 years …

The role of the skin microbiome in amphibian pathogen susceptibility in Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge
… and the microbiome of the Columbia Spotted Frog (Rana luteiventris, N=46) and the Pacific Chorus Frog (Pseudacris regilla, N=72) in TNWR. We characterized skin bacterial diversity with 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing on Illumina MiSeq, and quantified Bd infection intensity with qPCR. P. regilla …

Ecosystem engineering: beaver and the population structure of Columbia spotted frogs in western Montana
… population structure by Columbia spotted frogs (Rana luteiventris) between watersheds with and without beaver activity. Across all watersheds frog breeding sites were more clustered than the underlying pattern of lentic habitat. Beaver watersheds had four times as many lentic and breeding sites …
