I wonder if it might be because the canyons are isolated and each canyons gene pool could be unique. This means the canyon tree frog could diverge into a unique species for each canyon, spry frog, behuin frog, etc.

You win!
Yes we are testing DNA from the different canyons to see if the isolation has created micro habitats and the frogs have evolved differently.
We have done Fat Mans; Keyhole; Pine Creek; Sprie; Behunin; The subway and Taylor creek so far. We will be doing it all summer on Tuesdays and Wednesdays so look for us in the canyons and say Hi if you can!

Can I help with Goose Creek? I remember all sorts of interesting frogs in there - 4 legs, 6 legs, 12 legs, 3 heads - that kinda stuff. The flourescent red ones were kinda weird too.

I'd certainly be up for a Goose trip. I'd even promise to not enjoy myself and only look down.

Me too. Hell I'm skinny long distance runner and I'll be the sherpa for goose. I'll even haul in dutch ovens for dinner.

Dutch ovens? That's nuthin, I'll carry each of you down the entire canyon. I'll even do the rappels for you so you don't have to. Shoot, I'll even bring our boatman from Lake Powell, Steve, he'll make us dinner, shine our shoes, and clean the sand out of all our gear every time we stop for a rest. You can just spend the entire time focusing on the frogs and not worry about anything!

Did they shoot bow n' arrows at your helicopter?
Damn Allystair! You've got a really rough job! Are you guys hiring?
It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.
