Occurrence of frogs in a non-forest area of Similajau National Park, Bintulu, Sarawak

A survey on the occurrence of frogs in non-forest area at Similajau National Park (SNP) was carried out from August 2014 until January 2015. Transect line and quadrat methods were used to sample frogs in the area. A total of 193 individuals of nine species belonging to the families of Dicroglossidae...

A total of 193 individuals of nine species belonging to the families of Dicroglossidae, Ranidae and Rhacophoridae were detected and counted. No endemic and new species were recorded from the study.
