Table 1. Frog abundance on the stream
transects. All transects were surveyed six times. Table shows the conservation
status of the species; the total number of records for each species across
all transects; and the average number of individuals of each species per
100 m on each transect (a standardized measure of abundance). Bolding shows
species (or total frogs) recorded at an abundance of approximately 10 individuals
or more per 100 m. Status is the Australian EPBC status; categories here
are E (Endangered) and LC (Least Concern). Two species are recently described
(marked with asterisk) and are common and best considered LC. Litoria serrata was formerly included within L. genimaculata (Richards et al. 2010).
