| Summary: | This study was undertaken to describe the anurans diversity of Balite falls in Amadeo,
Cavite specifically, species richness and abundance of anurans in the area. This pioneering work
provides baseline information on the different species of anurans that could be found in Balite Falls,
Amadeo, Cavite. It will hopefully contribute pertinent data that may inspire other researchers to
study other aspects of the resort’s biodiversity. Such data can lead to the appreciation of the
importance of this ecopark in Amadeo. The researchers adopted the descriptive quantitative method
of research to account and report (Glatthorn and Joyner, 2005) anuran of Balite Falls, Amadeo,
Cavite. The descriptive method also allowed the researchers to describe the characteristics of the
anurans by directly collecting and examining the specimens. It was found that the anuran Diversity
of Balite falls is low based on the computed results through Shannon Index, having a result 1.58,
ranges starts from 1-4, However, the Equitability result of 0.88 shows the even distribution of
anurans in the area which imply that if sampling effort would be increased, evenness would still
remain the same. |
