U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 1874, 162 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/pp1874.: "Amphibian funnel traps (fig. 24; Mushet and others, 1997) were used to sample amphibians in each wetland over a continuous 5-day period each month from May through September starting in 1992. Traps were placed along three (A, C, and E) of the permanently established transects in each wetland. A random sample point was identified for the place_x0002_ment of traps using computer-generated random points along the length of each transect between a water depth of 10 and 90 cm. Each trap had a 2-m drift fence that was oriented parallel to the shoreline when traps were set. During each sample week, funnel traps were set on day one and checked for captures each successive morning (that is, days two through five) for the 5-day period. All captured animals were handled as little as possible. Data collected consisted of species, numbers of individuals, sex, and developmental stage (larval, adult) of captures. Although reptiles were not a specific target of sampling at the study area, any reptiles captured during amphibian sampling were recorded."Citation(s)
