Boreal toad metamorph capture, recapture and covariates data, Colorado 2017-2018
December 28, 2020
This dataset includes two files, 1) site -specific covariates including the presence of predators (fish), disease (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis [Bd] - amphibian chytrid fungus), and permanence (ephemeral or permanent) of sites in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. The dataset was analyzed for planned publication of a manuscript in Population Ecology, Crockett, J., E. Muths and L.L. Bailey authors. and 2) site-specific covariates for additional sites in Colorado (including those in file 1) noting the presence of toad breeding, snowpack values, Bd, permanence and elevation that are analyzed for a second planned publication by Crockett et al.

Highly variable rates of survival to metamorphosis in wild boreal toads (Anaxyrus boreas boreas)
Life history theory suggests that long‐lived, pond‐breeding amphibians should have low and highly variable early life‐stage survival rates, but this theoretical expectation is often untested and the causes of variation are usually unknown. We evaluated the impact of hydroperiod, presence of a pathogen (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis [Bd]), presence of a potential predator (cutthroat trout Oncorhyc
