Dr. Alisa Wade (right), University of Montana, and Brett Addis (left), Ph.D candidate, gather data for a “habitat quality assessment” project to determine if Travis Air Force Base, Calif., has a viable environment for the western spadefoot toad during a survey at the base Feb. 13, 2017. The assessment includes recording data for vegetation type, soil friability and a visual check for mammal burrows and WST predators. Wade and Addis will also collect DNA samples from several ephemeral vernal pools through a filter that will go back to a genetics lab to determine if any DNA from the WST is floating around the pool, indicating the toads have been there.
