Project Description

Project Title:  View help for Project Title Treefrog response data from and assessment of short-term impacts of prescribed fire in Central Florida
Summary:  View help for Summary This data publication contains tabular data from an assessment of the short-term impacts of prescribed fire on the dynamics of an upland flatwoods specialist, the pinewoods treefrog Dryophytes femoralis, using a replicated before-after-control-impact field experiment in Central Florida. We set PVC pipes as treefrog refugia at 3 meters (m), 6 m, 9 m, and 9+ m in 12 pine trees spread evenly across two treatments: reference trees in units burned in 2020 and trees in units with 2021 prescribed fire. Prescribed fires occurred April 16 and July 21, 2021. Every two weeks between March 5 and September 5 we checked pipes for frogs and assigned them unique color marks. We collected tree and environmental data, frog data, and capture/recapture data. We later modeled abundance (as raw counts), survival, and vertical movement using mark-recapture methods, multi-state, and mixed linear models with a Bayesian framework.
