FrogID

This dataset represents expert-validated occurrence records of calling frogs across Australia collected via the national citizen science project FrogID (www.frogid.net.au). FrogID relies on participants recording calling frogs using smartphone technology, after which point the frogs are identified by expert validators, resulting in a database of georeferenced frog species records. 771,542 records of 218 species, 86% of the known frog species in Australia. This is the fifth instalment of the dataset, and we anticipate providing updated datasets on an annual basis.
