Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted to "determine whether Colorado golf courses (representative of habitats in suburban landscapes) are...supporting invasive American Bullfrogs [in 2009]." Describes the experiment and the methods used, explaining that "in total, we surveyed 95 ponds from 21 different golf courses located between Fort Collins and South Denver [Colorado]." |

USGA Summary Points: | Invasive bullfrogs threaten native amphibian diversity in Colorado. Invasive bullfrogs are very common on golf courses in Colorado as a result of municipal water sources that support their dispersal and breeding. Of the 38 bullfrog populations surveyed on golf courses, 35% were positive for a fungal amphibian pathogen (Bd), indicating that bullfrogs are an increased threat due to their role as a pathogen reservoir. Mitigating bullfrog breeding sites by conducting temporary dry-downs of golf course ponds will be the focus of the upcoming year's activities. |
