Methods

Sampling was made in the same ten sites as study 275. At each site, nine pitfall traps (20L white palstic buckets) in a grid, approximately 30 m apart and with about 7m of flywire drift fence, were deployed. Sites were sampled annually during November or December (sometimes January) by opening all traps simultaneously for 10 nights. Individuals were counted and measured every morning. Some sites had wildfire burns in 2009 (see treatments). Abundance is number of individuals of the corresponding size (Biomass). Biomass is SVL = SnoutVentLength. This is the monitoring continuation of study 275, withouh funnel traps and with pitfall trapping running for 10 rather han 14 days.
