Amphibians are widely regarded as the most threatened vertebrate group globally. Habitat change and diseases are identified as the top two drivers of amphibian declines. Our goal is to better understand how disease and human activities associated with urbanization influence amphibian communities by monitoring amphibian populations in urban ponds across Madison.
