Methods

We did surveys searching for amphibians and reptiles from 2006 to 2010 in Três Lagoas (Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil). During the fieldwork we installed 3 pitfall traps with 8 60-liters buckets each, interspaced from each other by 15 meters, with a total lenght of 105 m. The drift fence had 60 cm height, with 10 cm buried into the ground. The traps were opened during 4 -5 days and were monitored each 24 hours. We registered amphibian and reptile species and abundance in each pitfall trap.
