Summary

These data represent occupancy surveys conducted in long-term monitoring sites in Yosemite National Park in 2018 for three anurans, the Yosemite Toad (Anaxyrus canorus), the Sierran Treefrog (Pseudacris sierra), and the Sierra Nevada Yellow-legged Frog (Rana sierrae). The data include independent double-observer surveys and time-to-detection data to calculate detection probabilities and account for false negatives, or the failure to detect a species at a site where it occurs. These data support the following publication: Schimel, D.S., 2018, Editorial: Ecological Applications, v. 28, no. 4, p. 869–870, https://doi.org/10.1002/eap.1735.

Purpose

These data were obtained as part of a long-term research and monitoring program to assess trends in the occurrence of Yosemite Toads, Sierran Treefrogs, and Sierra Nevada Yellow-legged Frogs in Yosemite National Park. Data collected in 2018 were additionally collected to evaluate the suitability of time-to-detection methods, which require only a single visit by a single observer, to calculate detection probabilities for these species.
