Andrea Adams’ research focuses on endangered species management, amphibian declines and wildlife reintroductions. With an interdisciplinary approach, her methods include interviews, natural history collections and field work. Her research on species like the California red-legged frog and foothill yellow-legged frog aims to understand the timing and causes of wildlife declines, including disease and rapid land-use change. Her goal is to better understand and either reverse these trends, or assist wildlife and people in coping with them.
