An updated checklist of the amphibian diversity of Maliau Basin conservation area, Sabah, Malaysia

The current account presents the results of a 14-day amphibian survey at Maliau Basin Conservation Area (MBCA). With a total of approximately 170 man-hrs, 44 species were detected at four study sites during the field period; four more species were later discovered outside the two-week campaign. The...
