The contributors discuss each procedure, along with the circumstances for its appropriate use. In addition, they provide a detailed protocol for each procedure's implementation, a list of necessary equipment and personnel, and suggestions for analyzing the data.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe data obtained using these standard methods are comparable across sites and through time and, as a result, are extremely useful for making decisions about habitat protection, sustained use, and restoration—decisions that are particularly relevant for threatened amphibian populations.“Comprehensive.”—\u003ci\u003eConservation Biology\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eW.
