Preliminary Study Of Anura (Amphibian) In Selected Ponds And Fields In Ndibe Community, Afikpo L.G.A, Ebonyi State, Nigeria.
ABSTRACT
The preliminary monitoring of anuran species in Ndibe
community of Afikpo, Ebonyi state was carried out from April to August 2013, a
total of 4 species and 16 individuals were collected. Some ponds, field,
streams were selected and monitored for anuran species applying the hand picking
and pitfall method. The anuran species recorded were: Buforegularis,
Plychadanabibroni, HolobatrachusoccipitalisandSiluranatropicalis. Each specie
had an individual number of 2(12.5%), 7(43.8%), 4(25%) and 3(18.8%)
respectively. In general, few amphibian species were observed during the rainy
season due to the flush of the river surface and erosion in the field. Habitat
destruction and modification are the key causes of habitat loss of anuran
species observed in this study. Biomonitoring procedures should be applied
regularly to detect (increase/decrease) in the diversity and abundance of
anuran species within a specified study area of interest over time.
