| Notes | The foothill yellow-legged frog is a species with a declining population, and is listed as a Species of Special Concern in California. This paper looks at genetic analysis to identify distinct subpopulations. The Umpqua Basin population is interesting in that it is more closely related to California populations than to Oregon groups. The authors urge that genetic biodiversity be considered in conservation plans, and that unique populations be preserved. |
