Description
This report summarizes results from water samples collected from 105 ponds in Southern Norway in 2019 to determine amphibian biodiversity in the ponds.
Data Records
The data in this occurrence resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 61 records.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Geographic Coverage
A selected number of systems was sampled during different seasons to provide the necessary basis for an optimal sampling design for a national monitoring program of BD and amphibian diversity in southern Norway.

Project Data
The main objectives of this project were to collect samples from a high number of waterbodies to obtain a detailed picture of the presence of BD and amphibians in southern Norway. Furthermore, a selected number of systems was sampled during different seasons to provide the necessary basis for an optimal sampling design for a national monitoring program of BD and amphibian diversity.

| Identifier | eDNA |
| Funding | The project was funded by the Norwegian Environmental Agency "Miljødirektoratet" |
| Study Area Description | Samples were obtained in Southern Norway, along the Swedish border, around Oslo, and in the Agder region. Based on the results from the 2019 study (Ahmed et al., 2019), the end of May and beginning of June were chosen for sampling. In total, 91 bodies of water, including forest-, agricultural- and urban ponds, were sampled, and 16 swabs from various amphibian specimens were obtained in 2020. |
| Design Description | 300-500 milliliters of water were filtered through sterivex filters. |
The personnel involved in the project:
Sampling Methods
Water samples were collected using 50 ml syringe and Stervix filter units. Approximately 100-600 ml of water was injected in Stervix filter.
| Study Extent | Norway |
|---|---|
| Quality Control | Negative controls were prepared and also positive control. PCRs were run in triplicates. |
