Mostly academic research on calling and breeding behavior; AGFD study on use of urban flood
control impoundments; general and specific herpteofaunal inventories; studies of breeding and
larval ecology.
2. Demographic information; studies on nature and effects of interspecific interactions with B.
woodhousek
Academic behavioral research on calling and breeding behavior; AGFD study on use of urban
flood control impoundments by B. woodhouseii, B. cognates, and other sp.
4. Behavioral studies on calling and mating behavior; taxonomic assessments based on calling;
AGFD urban amphibian study; limited radio telemetry study of behavior and ecology.
Demographics, ecology of adults away from breeding sites.
6. Mostly inventory and monitoring; genetics and taxonomic studies ongoing; evaluation of
conservation measures.
7. Limited to single population in Littlefield area, Virgin River basin. Taxonomic questions need to
be resolved. Assuming Littlefield population is Rana onca, species is critically endangered in
Arizona.
8. Species declined dramatically at some point, probably <1960s. Littlefield may be only extant
population in Arizona.
9. Control of predators and competitors; maintenance and enhancement of breeding habitat and
dispersal corridors; establishment of additional breeding populations.

' 2. Additional information on breeding habits, food habits, genetics, and possible hybridization
would be most useful.
3. Additional information on habitat parameters, predator interactions, and response to pathogens
is needed.
4. Additional information on breeding habits, food habits, genetics, competitive interaction between
B. woodhouseii and B. punctatus, and possible hybridization between B. w. woodhouseii and
B.w. australis would be most useful.
