Comparative Study of the Diet of Anuran Amphibians between Ground Dwelling and Arboreal Types at Kubah National Park

Feeding habit and food preference of the anuran amphibians were conducted to determine the prey items for ground dwelling and arboreal frogs and the relationship between the snout vent length (SVL) of predator and prey length for both ecological categories of frogs. The sampling was conducted at Kub...
