Outline:
675 samples from 20 localities in Southeastern USA
Squirrel tree frogs are spatially structured and appear to be located from Virginia to Eastern Texas to the Florida Keys
Their habitats include a wide range from fields and urbanized areas, to swamps, pine and oak groves, open wooded areas, and almost anywhere located next to food, moisture and shelter.
They return to wetlands to breed, in places such as grassy, ephemeral pools without and predatory fish, such as roadside ditches or open canopy ponds.
They sometimes travel North, but never farther than Mississippi, but that is very rare.
They have been introduced to the Bahamas.
Can travel to North Carolina and Northern Virginia
"It is introduced on Grand Bahama Island and Little Bahama Bank" (Schwartz and Henderson, 1991).
Rough Draft:
Squirrel tree frogs are spatially located in Southeastern United States, from Virginia, to Eastern Texas to the Florida Keys. The species is prominent throughout the Coastal Plain regions of South Carolina and Georgia [1]. They have recently been introduced to the Bahamas, on Grand Bahama Island and Little Bahama Bank [2]. They very rarely are found as far north as Mississippi. Their habitats include a wide range from fields and urbanized areas, to swamps, pine and oak groves, opened wooded areas, sides of buildings and almost anywhere located near food, moisture and shelter. They return to wetlands to breed, typically in places such as ephemeral pools, roadside ditches or canopy pools, where they can be protected and safe from predatory fish. [3]
