One sampling day by month, from end-2005 to early 2007. We recorded the monthly abundance of anuran species in each breeding site by performing the surveys at breeding sites” methodology (Scott & Woodward, 1994) during the nocturnal period (from sunset to midnight, when most species had already reduced their calling activities). The search for anurans was made along the perimeters of all perimeters of breeding sites and along 500-m sections of stream banks, by recording males engaged in calling activities. Habitat inspections were carried out using artificial light (head lamps), a methodology widely performed and recommend in protocols of inventory and monitoring of amphibians (Heyer et al., 1994), since males of anurans call even if under artificial light. The amount of time spent in each breeding site varied according to its size and complexity (Scott & Woodward, 1994). Note: This dataset contains abundance records of adult anurans. A dataset of tadpole abundance is available in the database for 11 of the same sampling sites.Citation(s)
