Impacts of habitat disturbance on population health of Bornean frogs

Description: The raw data required for estimates of size, body condition and fluctuating asymmetry of riparian anurans across a series of streams within the SAFE landscape, providing insight into the population health of frog populations at these sites. Streams were selected to provide a habitat disturbance gradient enabling identification of any effect of habitat disturbance on the population health indices. Stream characteristics were measured to provide estimates of habitat disturbance sorrounding the streams (canopy cover) and enable the impact of any potentially confounding variables (stream width and slope) to be eliminated. Project: This dataset was collected as part of the following SAFE research project: The impact of habitat modification on feeding interactions between riparian anuran communities and their arthropod prey XML metadata: GEMINI compliant metadata for this dataset is available here Files: This consists of 1 file: Fluctuating_Asymmetry_and_Body_Condition_of_Anurans_in_the_SAFE_Project.xlsx Fluctuating_Asymmetry_and_Body_Condition_of_Anurans_in_the_SAFE_Project.xlsx This file contains dataset metadata and 2 data tables: Fluctuating asymmetry and body condition measurements of Bornean riparian anurans (described in worksheet Frogs) Description: Species, snout-vent length, mass and limb measurements of anurans sampled across a tropical forest disturbance gradient and within oil palm plantations.
