Western Spadefoot Toad Habitat Survey

Brett Addis, a Ph.D candidate at the University of Montana, visits one of three song meters installed at Travis Air Force Base, Calif., Feb 13, 2017. Addis, part of a two-person team, is the field coordinator for a “habitat quality assessment” project to determine if Travis has a viable environment for the western spadefoot toad. The song meters are audio recorders designed to capture night vocalizations of the western spadefoot toad. During these maintenance checks, Addis will remove and replace the memory cards vital to data collection and change out batteries. (U.S. Air Force photo/ Heide Couch)

Western Spadefoot Toad Habitat Survey

Brett Addis, a Ph.D candidate at the University of Montana, records data while obtaining samples from a vernal pond Feb 13, 2017 at Travis Air Force Base, Calif. Addis, part of a two-person team, is the field coordinator for a “habitat quality assessment” project to determine if Travis has a viable environment for the western spadefoot toad. The assessment includes recording data for vegetation type, soil friability and a visual check for mammal burrows and WST predators. The team will also collect DNA samples from several ephemeral vernal pools through a filter that will go back to a genetics lab to determine if any DNA from the WST is floating around the pool, indicating the toads have been there.

Vernal pool fairy shrimp swim through the waters of an ephemeral pond Feb. 13, 2017 at Travis Air Force Base, Calif. Less than 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) in length, this threatened species hatches when the first rains fill the vernal pools on base. Toward the end of their brief lifetime, females produce thick-shelled “resting eggs” also known as cysts. During the dry season, these cysts become embedded in the dried mud and can lay dormant for long periods, until there is enough water to once again fill the pool. (U.S. Air Force photo/Heide Couch)
