Methods

This dataset contains abundance records of tadpoles. A dataset of adult anuran abundance is available in the database for the same sampling sites. From end-2005 to early 2007, tadpole sampling was carried out in the same breeding sites where the adults were monitored. The collection was made monthly, with a long, wire, hand net (3 mm2 mesh size). The effort was standardized by passing the net along the banks of ponds and streams, intending to sample all the available microhabitats. Tadpoles were fixed in 10% buffered formalin and were deposited at the DZSJRP (UNESP/São José do Rio Preto, Brazil) Amphibian Collection. Tadpoles, as opposite to adults of this study, couldn't be sampled in the second permanent dam (Permanent Dam 2) due to the depth of the pond. In a few sites, the tadpole time series has a shorter duration than the adult series.
