Acadia National Park Herpetological Inventory 2001 - Data Package

Under a National Park Service/Wildlife Conservation Society Cooperative Agreement, an inventory of amphibians and reptiles at Acadia National Park (ACAD) in Maine was conducted from March through September 2001. Seven standardized sampling methods were employed; anuran call counts, egg-mass counts, time-constrained search, coverboards, turtle trapping, minnow trapping, and drift fence arrays. In addition, animals encountered outside of standardized surveys (temporally or spatially) were recorded as incidental encounters. Eighteen species were documented including six frog/toad, five salamander, two turtle, and five snake species. These species represent 82% of the species believed to have occurred historically in the park.
