The FrogID dataset version 5.0 has been released for download and can be accessed from the FrogID website. It will also be shared with the Atlas of Living Australia and state wildlife atlases across Australia. This dataset spans the first five years of the project, from 10 November 2017 to 9 November 2022, and includes 771,542 records of 208 species, approximately 82% of the known 254 frog species in Australia. We follow ethical data publication guidelines and consider certain records as sensitive, thereby reducing geolocation accuracy in our publicly available dataset, taking into account the conservation status of the species, whether the species is highly range-restricted, and whether the record falls within the known geographic range of these species. Updates to the dataset are anticipated on an annual basis. For a more detailed overview of methodology and design aspects see Rowley et al. (2019), and for metadata associated with this dataset, see Rowley & Callaghan (2020).

With the data obtained through FrogID, we are able to understand where frogs are thriving and where they aren’t. Scientists can match FrogID call submissions to weather and habitat, learning more about how different frog species are responding to a changing environment, but we need your help! With FrogID, citizen scientists just like you can help us put frogs on the map!

By dividing Australia into grid cells of approximately 0.5 decimal degrees (~55km), we have a total of 3,244 grid cells across the country. Check out the latest FrogID grid count map and help fill data gaps by recording in uncoloured areas. Together, let's aim to achieve 50% coverage of Australia!
