Pitfall traps *40-liter buckets) were buried inside and outside the fence flush to the ground and next to the fence at 10m intervals. These traps were checked daily from September 1978. All amphibians were identified toe clipped for future identification and immediately released Unit of abundance = IndCountInt, Unit of biomass = NA
