Description
Urban development is shrinking wetland habitat used by many species. I am investigating how Pacific chorus frogs (Pseudacris regilla) are distributed across the different urban, agricultural, and managed wetlands in the coastal portion of Humboldt, County, CA. In addition to that, I am investigating what may be leading the frogs to select for one habitat over others, such as vegetation cover in the area and landscape around the wetland. This can be used to understand Pacific chorus frog prevalence in urban areas and how the landscape may influence their choice of habitat. This can also be used to demonstrate how areas should be more managed for amphibian usage promoting other species to inhabit the wetland.
