FrogID

Brief description

The FrogID dataset version 6.0 has been released for download and can be accessed from the FrogID website, Global Biodiversity Research Facility, Atlas of Living Australia and state wildlife atlases across Australia. This dataset spans the first six years of the project, from 10 November 2017 to 9 November 2023, and includes 974,120 records of 226 species, approximately 88% of the known 258 frog species in Australia. FrogID follows ethical data publication guidelines and considers certain records as sensitive, thereby reducing geolocation accuracy in our publicly available dataset, taking into account the conservation status of the species, whether the species is highly range-restricted, and whether the record falls within the known geographic range of these species. Updates to the dataset are anticipated on an annual basis. For a more detailed overview of methodology and design aspects, please see Rowley et al. (2019), and for metadata associated with this dataset, see Rowley & Callaghan (2020).
