Methods

Well defined transect routes were walked and all amphibians within 5m either side were recorded. Transects of 2km of average were walked both day and night to capture as many species as possible, with transect walks repeated per field season. Amphibians were surveyed along transects surveys during the day and opportunistic night walks. Each of the sample routes at all camps were searched for amphibians during daylight hours, generally starting between 8:00-9:00h AM. For all observed animals' the distance along the transect was recorded as well as the perpendicular distance to the centre of the transect.
