摘要
我们提供了加拿大新不伦瑞克省海拉公园自然保护区(加拿大第一个两栖动物保护区)灰树蛙(Hyla versicolor)(雄性)的初步种群数量估计(n = 120,95% CI 65-722)。作为概念验证,我们还展示了一种微创摄影识别方法(PIM)的功效,该方法使用模式识别软件来估算一种视觉隐蔽的两栖动物的种群数量,这种两栖动物会发生生理颜色变化。最后,我们验证了由社区参与者收集的 PIM 数据的用途,以及它为当地社区参与两栖动物保护和教育提供的机会。
Preliminary estimate of a Gray Treefrog (Hyla versicolor) population at a protected site in New Brunswick using photo identification and community science
We provide a preliminary population estimate (n = 120, 95% CI 65–722) of (male) Gray Treefrog (Hyla versicolor) at the Hyla Park Nature Preserve, New Brunswick, Canada’s first amphibian conservation site. As proof of concept, we also demonstrate the efficacy of a minimally invasive photographic identification method (PIM) that uses pattern recognition software for estimating the population of a visually cryptic amphibian that is subject to physiological colour change. Finally, we validate the use of PIM data collected by community participants and the opportunity it provides to engage and educate the local community about amphibian conservation.
