Abstract:

This assessment of the boreal toad is part of the Species Conservation Assessment Project for the Wyoming Office of the USDI Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It addresses the biology, ecology, and conservation status of the boreal toad throughout its current range in Wyoming and North America. The goal is to provide a current summary of published information and expert interpretation of this information that can be used to develop management plans. The boreal toad was selected for assessment because it is classified as a sensitive species by the BLM in Wyoming due to recently observed declines in abundance and distribution across its range in the Rocky Mountains. This toad was once considered widespread and common throughout its range, but it has declined dramatically over the past 20 years.
