We collected photographs of marked individuals in the field over three breeding seasons using a smartphone device. This photo-database was used to create an online survey to determine how easily members of the general public could photo-match individuals by a comparison of two facial skin features; black banding that runs horizontally above the tympanum and a background array of tubercles present in this region. Survey participants were provided with 30 closed, multiple choice questions in which they were asked to match separate images of a query frog from small image pools of potential candidate matches. Participants were consistently able to match individuals with a low matching error rate (mean ± SD of 26 ± 5) despite the relatively low quality of photographs taken from a smartphone device in the field, with most query frogs being matched by a majority of participants (mean ± SD of 86.02 ± 9.52%). These features were found to be unique and stable among adult males and females. Thus, photo-identification is likely to be a valid, non-invasive method for capture-mark-recapture for L. fletcheri, and likely many anurans that display similar facial skin features. This may become an important alternative to artificial marking techniques, with the challenges of manual photo-matching reduced by spreading workloads among members of the public that can be recruited online.]]> Wed 28 Sep 2022 13:31:57 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54806 Thu 14 Mar 2024 14:10:37 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:6268 Sat 24 Mar 2018 11:04:15 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:6237 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:44:25 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54033 Mon 29 Jan 2024 13:39:30 AEDT ]]>
