| Eyes on Earth
Estimating the distributions of cryptic species is essential for conservation, yet our understanding is hampered by animal behavior and imperfect detection. We developed and implemented a multiscale occupancy survey protocol to estimate the probability of occurrence, probability of being active on the surface, and detection probability of two range-restricted terrestrial salamanders, Scott Bar Salamanders (Plethodon asupak) and Siskiyou Mountains Salamanders (P.

Amphibians are vital members of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, as both predators of insect pests and food sources for larger wildlife. Amphibians are also relatively sensitive to environmental changes like water contamination, drought, or invasive species, making them early indicators for researchers and resource managers on issues with land health.

Abstract Disease, alone or combined with other stressors such as habitat loss and contaminants, affects wildlife populations worldwide. However, interactions among stressors and how they affect demography and populations remain poorly understood. The amphibian chytrid fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis; Bd) is a sometimes-lethal pathogen linked with population declines and extirpations of amphibians globally.
