The Arizona toad (Anaxyrus microscaphus) is unique among bufonids because they primarily breed in streams of Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Nevada. Arizona toad is a species of conservation concern throughout their range. The non-native northern crayfish (Orconectes virilis) are opportunistic omnivores implicated in the declines of other native aquatic species. I wanted to determine occupancy, habitat use, and species interactions of the Arizona toad throughout its range Visual encounter surveys (VES) were completed by ASU and natural resource agency partners in the summers of 2021 and 2022 (n = 232) throughout Arizona toad range in Arizona. I used VES data and crayfish occurrence records, to determine interactions between the two species. I used broadscale environmental variables (1 km resolution) from WorldClim and EarthEnv to evaluate a relationship with Arizona toad occupancy across transects. These broadscale variables included bioclimatic variables, measures of habitat heterogeneity, measures of solar radiation, and topographic variables. In 2022 I collected fine-scale habitat data evaluating available vegetation cover and substrate composition within paired habitat plots. Fine-scale variables included canopy cover, substrate type, vegetation cover, and water depth. I applied multiple occupancy modeling approaches. Single-species model results found low toad occupancy, but high detection, as this is a rare species. Multi-species results showed no positive or negative relationship between Arizona toad and northern crayfish for both seasons. Two principal component analyses (PCA) were run on broadscale environmental variables and fine-scale habitat variables for 2021 and 2022, respectively, creating new synthetic variables for use in analysis. In 2021, the broadscale components were added to the single-species occupancy models and the top model included bioclimatic variables related to annual temperature range and precipitation. Arizona toad occupancy is lower with extreme hot temperatures and less precipitation. A logistic regression was run with the fine-scale habitat variables and the top model included PC1 and PC3. PC1 described elements related to riparian complexity, while PC3 described elements related to algae presence, including attached to cobble substrate. Arizona Toad select for certain habitats including canopy cover, shallow water, algae cover, and pebble cover. It is important to maintain riparian area habitat complexity and conserve habitat for the Arizona toad, a riparian stream specialist.
