Library:A Dataset of Amphibian Species in U.S. National Parks (research): Difference between revisions

* '''Data records and availability''' - the verified dataset contains 2,742 records of 230 amphibian species across 292 NPS units, and includes updated taxonomy, conservation status, references, and notes. The dataset is available at NPS DataStore with a DOI link.

* '''Technical validation and code availability''' - the verified dataset underwent considerable technical validation, such as removing unverifiable records, normalizing taxonomy, assigning conservation status, and comparing with published range maps. No custom code was used to generate or process the data.
