Journal Article
Anthropause helped roadcrossing amphibians
2021
Overview
Buehler explains that in Maine, some intrepid amphibian travelers encounter scores of volunteers surveying roads as part of the Maine Big Night - Amphibian Migration Monitoring community science project. Launched in 2018, the goal of the project is to collect data on road crossings by amphibians. During the 2020 migration, Gregory LeClair ofthe University of Maine and his colleagues immediately noticed that there were \"a lot (fewer) dead amphibians\". Intrigued, LeClair and his team delved into the project's data to determine the number of dead frogs and salamanders encountered over the past few years, then compared the amphibian mortality data to the level of early spring traffic recorded by the Maine Turnpike Authority and Maine Department of Transportation. LeClair says the findings illustrate that there's a clear solution for reducing amphibian road mortality: avoiding driving during warm, rainy, nighttime conditions in spring, when amphibians are on the move.
