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.
