متن کاملA Simple Technique for Trapping Siren lacertina, Amphiuma means, and Other Aquatic Vertebrates
We describe a commercially-available funnel trap for sampling aquatic vertebrates. The traps can be used in heavily vegetated wetlands and can be set in water up to 60 cm deep without concern for drowning the animals. They were especially useful for capturing the aquatic salamanders Siren lacertina and Amphiuma means, which have been difficult to capture with traditional sampling methods. They ...
متن کاملQuantitative Sampling of Stream Salamanders: Comparison of Dipnetting and Funnel Trapping Techniques
In recent years, increased awareness of amphibian declines has resulted in widespread efforts to inventory and monitor amphibian populations, thus initiating the development of standardized and quantitative sampling techniques. Accepted sampling methods for aquatic adult and larval amphibians include dipnetting, seining, and funnel trapping (Heyer et al. 1994). Numerous types of funnel traps ha...
متن کاملAmphibian breeding phenology and reproductive outcome: an examination using terrestrial and aquatic sampling
Worldwide amphibian declines highlight the need for programs that monitor species presence and track population trends. We sampled larval amphibians with a box trap at 3-week intervals for 23 months in eight wetlands, and concurrently trapped adults and juveniles with drift fences, to examine spatiotemporal patterns of tadpole occurrence; explore relationships between breeding effort, tadpole a...
متن کاملA Comparison of Herpetofaunal Sampling Effectiveness of Pitfall, Single-ended, and Double-ended Funnel Traps Used with Drift Fences
We assessed the relative effectiveness of pitfal ls , s ingle-ended, and double-ended funnel traps at 12 replicate sites in sand pine scrub using drift fence arrays. Pitfalls captured fewer species but yielded more individuals of many species and higher average species r ichness than funnel traps. Pit fal ls and funnel traps exhibited differential capture bias probably due to differences in beh...
