Despite many studies of tailed frog (Ascaphus truei) larvae, there has been little study of juvenile and adult habitat use, patterns of movement, and dispersal. Grids of pitfall traps and drift fences were established in “control” sites (mature stands >81 years, n = 3) and clearcut habitats (<5 years, n = 3) to determine whether: 1) movement became limited to upstream/downstream activity only within the immediate riparian area in clearcuts without riparian buffers; 2) tailed frog abundance was lower in clearcut stands than in mature stands; and 3) prereproductive juveniles were the main dispersers. In clearcut sites, the highest proportion (44%) of frogs moved downstream, and the lowest proportion (11%) moved away from the creek. There was no notable difference between movement towards the creek (20%) and upstream (24%). Within mature sites, the highest proportion of frogs (40%) moved upstream, followed by movement towards the creek (32%). The lowest proportions moved away from the creek (13%) and...
