ARMI's role The U.S. Geological Survey's Amphibian Research and Monitoring Initiative (ARMI) provides essential scientific information to managers to help arrest or reverse amphibian population declines across the United States.
ARMI scientists from Western Ecological Science Center (WERC, Point Reyes Field Station) joined FRESC in providing amphibian walks during Amphibian Week. The walk at Point Reyes engaged 4th and 5th graders in not only a walk, but a beta test of an amphibian game.
ARMI initiated and hosted an international workshop aimed at developing a North American surveillance monitoring strategy and identifying responses for the potential invasion of Bsal into the U.S. (Grant et al. 2015).
These are key ARMI objectives to help meet regional and national goals. The recent availability of improved acoustic recorders and analytical software has proven to be the cornerstone of our region’s success in leading the development and implementation of a growing network of partners and research sites.

Riding high from our victory in the 2024 Amphibian Week Ohm lympic, ARMI is coming out swinging for this year's main event. Amphibian Week is celebrated worldwide through virtual presentations and in-person events.
Welcome to the 2013 Annual ARMI Update, which provides highlights and significant milestones of this innovative program. This was an especially notable year for ARMI with the release of a landmark publication “Trends in amphibian occupancy in the United States.” Our synthesis and scaling up of 9 years of monitoring data produced the first-ever estimate of how fast frogs, toads and ...
