Abstract

The wildlife monitoring survey is urgently conducted because they are currently facing many factors that may drive to extinction. The effective way in monitoring survey method is limitedly studied for tropical sumatran amphibian. The goal of the study is to examine the efficacy of plot technique in documenting the amphibian diversity in the forest leaf liter floor. We used 45 plots of 4 × 4 m covering 720 m2 of forest floor. The study site is a tourism object located in Sumatera Barat province, Indonesia. We found 11 species of frogs with the total of 20 individuals representing five families. The richest family was Microhylidae with five species while the highest number of individuals belong to Bijurana nicobariensis with five individuals. The leaf litter frogs’ density was 2.8 and the diversity index was medium (H’= 2.2). Each plot can be completed by two persons within 5–8 minutes. The species accumulation curve showed that no additional new species after 20 plots. For population studies or obtaining small litter frogs, we recommend smaller plot (16 m2) to be applied in the study area but preliminary study is pivotal step to ensure how many plot replications are needed.
