Artificial cover objects, made of various materials, have been used for decades for reptile
and amphibian surveys, as well as in habitat restoration programs. Their low cost and …

Artificial pipe-like refugia have been used for more than 40 years in anuran studies, and
have captured 28 species, primarily (82%) hylid treefrogs. Early pipe-like refugia were made …

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe refugia have been used to study hylid treefrogs for decades.
These inexpensive and easy-to-build refugia effectively mimic damp tree cavities but pose a …
