大多数评估两栖动物数量减少的研究都集中在针对一种或几种物种的地方规模项目。两栖动物研究和监测计划 (ARMI) 是美国的一项国家计划，由国会指令授权并由美国内政部（特别是美国地质调查局，USGS）实施。项目目标是监测美国内政部土地上两栖动物种群的变化，并利用基础、中级和顶级监测点的分层框架解决与两栖动物减少相关的研究问题。 ARMI 目前正在中层和高层地区监测 83 种两栖动物物种（占美国物种的 29%）。我们绘制了这个 5 年计划的进展情况，并提供了 7 个 ARMI 区域之一的中层监控示例。
Most research to assess amphibian declines has focused on local-scale projects on one or a few species. The Amphibian Research and Monitoring Initiative (ARMI) is a national program in the United States mandated by congressional directive and implemented by the U.S. Department of the Interior (specifically the U.S. Geological Survey, USGS). Program goals are to monitor changes in populations of amphibians across U.S. Department of the Interior lands and to address research questions related to amphibian declines using a hierarchical framework of base-, mid- and apex-level monitoring sites. ARMI is currently monitoring 83 amphibian species (29% of species in the U.S.) at mid- and apex-level areas. We chart the progress of this 5-year-old program and provide an example of mid-level monitoring from 1 of the 7 ARMI regions.
