Oregon Zoo Wildlife Conservation Lecture Series - Climate Change, Disease, Exotics and Humans: The Unique Case of the Oregon Spotted Frog February 26, 2008

In his lecture, “Climate Change, Disease, Exotics and Humans: The Unique Case of the Oregon Spotted Frog,” Hayes describes the Oregon spotted frog as one of the Pacific Northwest's most remarkable amphibians. For a variety of reasons, this beautiful frog is now found in less than 20 percent of its historic range. Hayes tells the important story of the Oregon spotted frog, and how its precipitous decline may lead us to make better environmental choices in the future.

Dr. Marc P. Hayes, Research Scientist, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.
