This data includes clade management unit boundaries as described in "A STATUS REVIEW OF THE FOOTHILL YELLOW-LEGGED FROG (Rana boylii) in CALIFORNIA" (2019). This layer is represented in figure 6 of the review document. The foothill yellow-legged (FYLF) frog clade boundaries are designated for management purposes and the listing recommendation of the Department.
