    Abstract:

    Comparing to the well-known mark-recapture method,two methods including volume-area-pixel transformation(VAPT) and quantitative quadrat-shooting were developed to survey the number of tadpoles of Bufo gargarizans gargarizans,Fejervarya multistriata and Pelophylax nigromaculata,in Kuankuoshui National Natural Reserve,based on the different distribution characteristics of tadpole groups.The result indicated that VAPT and quantitative quadrat-shooting are scientific and applicable.The development and application of the two new methods would provide a beneficial supplement in the census of tadpoles.Integration with quadrate census for the adult,the two methods would provide integrity of quantitative population survey of Anura species.
