Capture-Mark-Recapture and Covariate Data for Demography of Sierra Nevada Yellow-legged Frogs (Rana sierrae) at Summit Meadow, Yosemite National Park, California, 2003-2022
June 11, 2025
These data include capture and survey information for a meadow population of endangered Sierra Nevada yellow-legged frogs (Rana sierrae) at Yosemite National Park, California, USA, 2003-2022. The data also include remotely sensed weather covariates related to winter severity (annual April snow water equivalent) and drought severity (Palmer drought severity index) to evaluate their effects on the demography of Sierra Nevada yellow-legged frogs.

The drivers of population dynamics are a primary interest of ecologists, and predicting the consequences of climate variability on wildlife populations benefits from an understanding of how weather causes variation in the vital rates of populations. Given recent and projected extremes in annual precipitation in the Sierra Nevada of California, USA, including two severe droughts, we...
