Abstract
Anthropogenic influence on prevalence of 2 amphibian pathogens.
Highlights
Site coordinates were determined by using global positioning satellite (GPS), and 4 quantitative measures of human habitat modification were assessed
GPS coordinates were used to map sites and to measure distance to the nearest road, industrial activity, and human habitation; all measurements were in meters
We further assigned a qualitative measure of human influence on each breeding pond by assigning ponds to each of the following categories: 1) human presence without human habitat modification or extensive disturbance; 2) recreational activities; 3) property development; 4) agricultural activity; and 5) industrial activity
Summary
Site coordinates were determined by using global positioning satellite (GPS), and 4 quantitative measures of human habitat modification were assessed. GPS coordinates were used to map sites and to measure distance to the nearest road, industrial activity (agriculture, mine, paper mill), and human habitation; all measurements were in meters. We further assigned a qualitative measure of human influence on each breeding pond by assigning ponds to each of the following categories: 1) human presence without human habitat modification or extensive disturbance; 2) recreational activities (fishing, boating); 3) property development (housing or commercial buildings); 4) agricultural activity; and 5) industrial activity.
