Summary

Texas Tech University will conduct quantitative and predictive analysis of the connectivity of isolated desert “wetlands”, that include tinajas, the name for eroded pools in bedrock, for 20 wildlife species over the Sonoran desert ecoregion. Potential loss of wetlands due to climate change will also be studied to identify high value areas that can be prioritized for future restoration efforts and targeted for better management practices.Target species for landscape connectivity analysis include:Colorado River toad ( Incilius alverius )American bullfrog ( Lithobates catesbeianus )Chiricahua leopard frog ( Lithobates chiricahuensis )Lowland leopard frog ( Lithobates yavapaiensis )Couch’s spadefoot ( Scaphiopus couchii )Plains spadefoot [...]

Purpose

Provide a quantitative and predictive analysis of landscape connectivity for 20 wildlife species over the Sonoran Desert ecoregion in the United States based on climate change and water type. Focal species are selected based on their vulnerability to changes in ephemeral water (most amphibians in the region) and interest by managers (invasive species, game species and threatened and endangered species).
