Description: The purpose of this guide is to bring together information on the amphibians in the western United States where most BLM lands are located, as a quick reference to where amphibians are, what their habitats are, possible reasons for declines, and key references to aid in planning and management. Species are listed in alphabetical order of common names for the simple reason of allowing specialists and managers to quickly find information on species where they may only have a name on a list. Pages are not numbered to allow the insertion of updated information on the amphibians such as status, taxonomy, and habits, without making the guide obsolete.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pages [145-150]).
