[2] It occurs in the USA throughout Montana, northwestern Wisconsin, northeastern Arizona, northern New Mexico, and southwestern Utah.

Males make a "reeeek" call from grasses, vegetation, or ground around the water body from April through to September.

They found a link between the lowest note in the song and body size, but insufficient evidence to draw any conclusions from it.

[4] Breeding takes place once the weather begins to warm, typically from late February to around April.

[4] After mating, a single female can lay anywhere from 500-1500 eggs, with a highly variable hatching rate of anywhere from 37% to 87%.The life cycle continues with tadpoles metamorphosing around June or July.

There are multiple reasons that amphibians decline, with the most common being disease, habitat loss, over harvesting for food, pet trade, and competition with invasive species.

[5] Climate change is causing the weather to become increasingly dry, which affects most amphibians (including Pseudacris maculata).

This, coupled with the decrease in ozone layers, also exposes the amphibians and the eggs to heightened levels of UV radiation when compared to environments with deeper waters.

Amphibians worldwide are being infected with the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) and the boreal chorus frog is no exception.

Bd is an especially interesting and dangerous pathogen given the fact that it can persist in an environment even in the absence of amphibians.

[4] Boreal chorus frogs in areas that contain salamanders capable of surviving with Bd cannot escape this disease, which could be why some populations are declining.
