Boreal Chorus Frog (Pseudacris Maculata) Spring Calling Activity, Habitat Metrics, And Associated Environmental Data

Data were collected using multimodal monitoring technologies pairing sound recorders with time-lapse camera systems. In the spring of 2015, 2016, and 2017, sound recordings and imagery were collected at a wet meadow and forested slough in the Central Platte River Valley of Nebraska. Boreal chorus frog (Pseudacris maculata) calling activity was obtained from analysing sound recordings. Habitat metrics including vegetation phenology and wet meadow hydropattern were derived from image analysis. This dataset can be used to assess phenology, anuran vocalization activity, and environmental change, as well as to further understanding of wetland ecology. Data are co-submitted with manuscript Brinley Buckley, E. M., Gottesman, B. L., Caven, A. J., Harner, M. J., and Pijanowski, B.
