Description

Monitoring this area of the Central Suriname Nature Reserve was focused on amphibians. The team consisted of Paul Ouboter and Rawien Jairam.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

The Raleighvallen-Voltzberg was sampled 6 times.

Sampling

Method steps

  1. 1. The amphibians were collected using line transects during night and day surveys. Reptiles were collected by hand when encountered. Insects through 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. The insects were dried and then pinned. 4. All specimens were identified to species using literature and keys.
