Data and Code for Tracking the Hidden Trade of Non-native Pet Amphibians in the United States

This dataset contains data and R scripts used to analyze the trade of non-native pet amphibians in the United States by integrating online classified advertisements with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service import records. The data include records of amphibian advertisements, U.S. imports, taxonomic reference lists, and conservation status information. The dataset supports analyses identifying domestically produced species, species entering U.S. markets through unrecorded or unofficial trade pathways, and price differences associated with documented and undocumented trade. The dataset supports the analyses presented in an associated peer-reviewed publication in Biological Conservation.
