Study Extent
The Paloemeu area was sampled once from the mouth of the Paloemeu River upstream to the KasiKasima River.Sampling
The sampling methods were specific to the taxonomic groups and included transect walks, hand sampling and using insect traps and active insect collecting.Quality Control
In some cases the identification of specimens was rechecked by foreign experts.Method steps
- 1. The amphibians and reptiles were collected using line transects during day time surveys. Insects were collected using various methods (passive sampling, active sampling). 2. The specimens were labeled in the field and after identification a collection number was assigned to each specimen. 3. The specimens were first preserved in formaldehyde and then transferred into 70% Ethanol. Insects were dried and pinnen. 4. All specimens were identified to species using literature and identification keys.
