This department is offering a grant to study the treatment and prevention of Bd infection in R. sierrae and R. muscosa populations. The grant involves visiting disease-free populations, capturing, treating, and releasing adult frogs, and potentially relocating early life stages for captive rearing. The study aims to immunize frogs against Bd and reintroduce them to their natural habitats. This grant opportunity aligns with the Endangered Species Act and aims to contribute to the conservation of these endangered frog species.

| Description: | The study requires University of California, Santa Barbara staff to: 1) Visit two-thirds (14-16) of the R. sierrae and R. muscosa populations in the Sierra Nevada that remain Bd-na��ve to confirm disease status, 2) capture, PIT tag, swab, and treat up to 500 adult frogs from the affected sites, then release infected frogs post-treatment back into the sites from which they were collected, and 3) if conditions in certain populations warrant it, collection of some early life stages for transportation to a zoo for captive rearing. These frogs would be raised to adulthood, infected with Bd to immunize them, cleared of infection, and then reintroduced into the population from which they were collected. This award is made under the authority of: Endangered Species Act of 1973 et. seq. as amended. |
