Abstract
⺠Topography strongly influences functional connectivity for many animal taxa. ⺠For frogs, the extent of topographic movement bias is a major research gap. ⺠We used a replicated trapping design to quantify this bias. ⺠High-relief areas had low frog densities, but contained more individuals in total. ⺠Buffering hydrological networks is insufficient to conserve pond-breeding frogs.
