Summary

We used radio-telemetry to study late-season movement and habitat use by the Oregon spotted frog (Rana pretiosa) at 9 sites from 4 populations along the Cascade Mountains in Oregon. This dataset includes individual frog morphometrics, location data, and habitat use during each tracking event that occurred roughly weekly between September and January of 2011, 2012, and 2016.

Purpose

Our study adds to the limited data on late-season activity and habitat use in R. pretiosa in high elevation wetlands with long cold winters. Information on seasonal habitat use, movement between seasonal habitat types, and habitats that are particularly valuable for maintaining populations is important to conservation and management.
