Abstract

The Kabo area is used for experiments in forestry, testing the Celos Management System. After the initial set up, surveys on biodiversity were carried out during several years. Data on amphibians in the data set were collected by Rawien Jairam and Gwendolyn Landburg. A few others collected Diptera and Lepidoptera.

Methods

Method step description: 1. The amphibians were collected using line transects during night and day surveys. Reptiles and amphibians were collected by hand when encountered. Insects were collected using various methods (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 pinned and dried. 
4. All specimens were identified to species using literature, keys and foreign experts.
Study extent description: The Kabo area was sampled regularly especially during the rainy season.
Sampling description: The sampling methods were specific to the taxonomic groups and included transect walks, hand sampling through active insect collecting.
Quality control description: In some cases the identification of specimens was rechecked by foreign experts.
