Notes
Park Species Data Source: TAMU museum specimen from county(ies) in which LAMR is located. 2024-08-29: This reference https://irma.nps.gov/DataStore/Reference/Profile/2301647 suggests Scaphiopus couchii is Present, however it's assignment of this value is liberal not having any confirmed evidence in the verified source, which is now linked to this reference. It is unclear if the areas documented in the reference are in ALFL. Once an observation is documented this can be elevated to Present.
