Abstract

The article evaluates the potential biases in common amphibian research methods, focusing on how capture techniques, measurement timing, and anesthesia impact data accuracy. Topics discussed include the influence of active versus passive capture methods on behavioral and morphometric data, the effects of time since capture and anesthesia on mass measurements, and recommendations for mitigating bias in amphibian studies.
