The status of the California red-legged frog (Rana draytonii), a federally listed threatened species, has long been uncertain in the sierra Nevada range in eastern California, USA. We examined museum collections and historical records, and conducted 213 field surveys at 151 sites over 21 years ...

Mountain yellow-legged frogs (Rana muscosa) at high elevations of the Sierra Nevada must obtain enough food during summer to survive 7-9 winter months when their aquatic habitats are frozen and food is presumably unavailable. Adults of R. muscosa prey on a variety of organisms, including aquat...
Unlike frogs that metamorphose from tadpoles into adults within a one-year period, it takes three to four years for the mountain yellow-legged frog of the Sierra Nevada to reach adulthood, and so they are restricted to deeper bodies of water that do not dry up in summer or freeze solid in...
The endangered Sierra Nevada yellow-legged frog (Rana sierrae) generally is found down to 1,370 m, but in the Plumas National Forest, California, USA, there are a number of historical records below this elevation, resulting in protections extending to 1,067 m. This species is phenotypically...
Non-Native Fish Introductions and the Decline of the Mountain Yellow-Legged Frog from within Protected Areas. One of the most puzzling aspects of the worldwide decline of amphibians is their disappearance from within protected areas. Because these areas are ostensi... Knapp,Roland,A.,... - 《...
Sierra Nevada yellow‐legged frogsnowpackThe Sierra Nevada yellow﹍egged frog (Rana sierrae) was once an abundant and widely distributed amphibian in California's alpine ranges. Rana sierrae is adapted to high〆levation, fishless habitats. Its adaptions are reflected in a unique life cycle that...
The decline of at least one amphibian species, the mountain yellow-legged frog, has been attributed largely to predation by introduced trout. Predation by introduced trout has also caused dramatic changes in zooplankton and benthic invertebrate species composition in lakes, shifting the dominant species...
