| 英文摘要 | We studied the effects of forest management on amphibian communities in the Budongo Central Forest Reserve, Uganda. We sampled amphibians from May to August of 2012 in four compartments with different logging and arboricide-treatment histories. We used pitfall traps with drift fences combined with visual encounter surveys to sample amphibians from 36 plots in four 1-km long transects along the Sonso River. From 126 encounters across plots, we recorded 25 frog species belonging to six families and eight genera. Arthroleptidae was the most diverse family represented by 10 species within two genera. Arthroleptis had the highest number of species (six), Ptychadena the second most (five), followed by Leptopelis (four) and Sclerophrys (four). Species composition differed across transects. The unlogged study site possessed the highest species richness, diversity, and evenness, and had the greatest frequency of species encounters. The most heavily logged site had the lowest species diversity and fewest amount of species encounters. This site also had the most dissimilar species composition among sites and was significantly different in species richness compared to the unlogged site. The two moderately logged sites had the second and third most species, and had the most similar species composition to each other. Our study provides data on the amphibian species of a protected site in the Albertine Rift, part of the Eastern Afromontane biodiversity hotspot, and results suggest that the forest management regimes in Budongo have exerted an influence over the amphibian communities after more than 50 years of forest recovery. © 2019 Elsevier B.V. |
