Wood frog embryos in a partly ice-covered Wisconsin wetland. Interconnected wetlands and uplands are critical elements of most North American landscapes and support our quality of life in profound ways. To provide much-needed information, the USGS is leading a growing network of U.S.

Status and trends of Blanchard’s Cricket Frog near the northern extent of its range
Blanchard’s cricket frog ( Acris blanchardi ) is currently listed as an endangered species in Wisconsin and Minnesota, is threatened in Michigan, and has potentially declining populations in Iowa and Illinois as well as suspected declines across much of its northern range. Ware surveying frogs across four states to better understand potential distribution changes relative to surveys that occurred...
