Description

The study requires University of California, Santa Barbara staff to: 1) Visit two-thirds (14-16) of the R. sierrae and R. muscosa populations in the Sierra Nevada that remain Bd-na��ve to confirm disease status, 2) capture, PIT tag, swab, and treat up to 500 adult frogs from the affected sites, then release infected frogs post-treatment back into the sites from which they were collected, and 3) if conditions in certain populations warrant it, collection of some early life stages for transportation to a zoo for captive rearing. These frogs would be raised to adulthood, infected with Bd to immunize them, cleared of infection, and then reintroduced into the population from which they were collected. This award is made under the authority of: Endangered Species Act of 1973 et. seq. as amended.
