Summary

The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) is evaluating the status of the Cascade torrent salamander (Rhyacotriton cascadae) across its range to determine whether the species merits listing under the Endangered Species Act. The USGS conducted visual surveys for Rhyacotriton cascadae at 65 sites in Oregon and Washington that were historically occupied by the species. Sites were selected from a pool of historic records that had high locational precision, were spatially independent, and were stratified across 8 subbasins identified by USFWS as priorities. We visited sites one to two times between 4 May and 12 October in 2022 and documented all amphibian species observed during 1 hour time-constrained surveys. We also collected tail clip [...]

Purpose

Our objective was to add to information on the current distribution of Rhyacotriton cascadae across its range by confirming presence at historic sites in Oregon and Washington. We also collected tail clips for future population and landscape genetic analyses.
