Additionally, 20 shrews and rodents were also captured in the Mt Nlonako study as well as some terrestrial crabs. Quadrat sampling This quantitative method proved to be effective especially for the sampling of leaf litter- and ground-dwelling species (tables 1 and 2). Quadrat sampling yielded 23 amphibian species in four families, whereas hand captures, for comparison, produced 40 species in five families. Fifty-eight percent of the hand captured amphibian species were found in the quadrats. Only 15% of the hand captured reptile species (41 species from 13 families) were represented in the quadrats (six species in three families). S3 Bufonidae 21 ind. â¡ Arthroleptidae 72 ind.
