Our observations showed that:
1)declines involved the
illness and death of adult frogs
2)several hundred individual
frogs from three species and two families died along 300m of stream
within a six to eight week period in early summer
3)there was no unusual
climatic event associated with the declines
4)declines occurred first
and most completely in species that were most closely associated with stream
water
5)species with less contact
with the water persisted longer
6)For L. nannotis, total disappearances
took less than 50 days from the first outward signs to appear until there were no adults visible on
the stream.
