2378 amphibians from 11 species were captured during surveys of 12 grazing properties in the Central and Southern Tablelands of NSW, Australia. Data were collected using pitfall and funnel traps along transects, with each property surveyed five times between 2014 and 2015. The dataset is provided by the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network's Data Discovery platform.
Use Cases
- Assess amphibian species richness and abundance based on survey counts.
- Model the relationship between agricultural land management and amphibian populations based on data from grazing properties.
- Monitor temporal population trends based on repeated surveys conducted over two years.
- Compare amphibian community composition across different families (Limnodynastidae, Myobatrachidae, Hylidae) based on captured species.
Strengths
- 2378 individual amphibian records provide a substantial sample size.
- Surveys cover 12 distinct properties across a defined geographic region.
- Data collection followed a standardized protocol with five repeated surveys per property.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
