| 1. Determine the distribution and abundance of leopard frog breeding ponds at Potholes Wildlife Area and Gloyd Seeps Wildlife Area. | Task a) Locate leopard frog breeding ponds Task b) Develop a database of occupied and unoccupied ponds with associated habitat attributes and survey results | 1 | $41,754 | |
| 2. Determine the presence of introduced fish and bullfrogs at ponds with and without leopard frogs and compare reproduction of leopard frogs at ponds with introduced fish and/or bullfrogs with ponds without introduced fish and/or bullfrogs | Task a) Sample ponds in the Gloyd Seeps population for introduced fish and bullfrogs. Task b) Sample ponds at the Potholes Wildlife Area for introduced fish, bullfrogs, and leopard frogs. Task c) Prepare a report summarizing information. | 1 | $0 | |
| 3. Determine leopard frog population structure at 12 structurally similar ponds that represent three groups of distinctly different ecological conditions. | Task a) Determine the size- and sex-specific population structure of leopard frogs using the three pond types. Task b) Determine the size-specific age structure of leopard frogs at target ponds. Task c) Prepare a report summarizing information. | $0 |

Fundable only if response is adequate
Jun 15, 2001
Comment:
Fundable only if an adequate response is provided to the following questions: (1) What is the extent of known bullfrog predation on leopard frogs? If the predation is a major factor for this state endangered species why not take immediate action to remove predators? Three years of study before any action is taken is likely too long. (2) Where do bullfrogs and leopard frogs co-exist and how are those situations different than in the Columbia basin? (3) How will reservoir inundation be evaluated separately from the effects of introduced fish and/or bullfrogs? (4) What plans are there to publish the results of this study in peer-reviewed journals?

Comment:
Fundable with low priority. This project proposes to determine the breeding distribution of the northern leopard frog, an endangered species in Washington. It further proposes to assess the effects of reservoir inundation and introduced fish and bullfrogs on breeding leopard frogs. The response was nicely prepared and helpful. It adequately addressed the ISRP concerns and indicates that researchers will indeed be able to separate effects of inundation from those of introduced predators.Comment:
