This grant from Yellowstone National Park aims to revolutionize amphibian monitoring. The primary focus for 2013 is developing and validating species-specific molecular markers for four native amphibian species. A crucial secondary objective involves evaluating if these novel environmental DNA (eDNA) markers can effectively detect amphibians in wetlands currently assessed via traditional visual encounter surveys. This research will compare eDNA’s capabilities against existing methods. Ultimately, the project seeks to determine if eDNA monitoring offers more comprehensive and cost-effective insights into the distribution and abundance of native amphibians across Yellowstone’s wetland ecosystems, promising enhanced conservation strategies and a deeper understanding of these vital populations.

| Description: | The goals in 2013 are to develop and validate species-specific molecular markers for four species of native amphibians in Yellowstone National Park. A secondary goal is to begin evaluating whether DNA markers can detect amphibian species in wetlands that are monitored annually using traditional visual encounter surveys. Ultimately, our goal is to examine whether DNA monitoring can provide additional or more cost-effective insight about the distribution and abundance of native amphibians in wetlands of Yellowstone National Park. |
