Sampling Methods

Occurrence records were collected during fauna rescue operations carried out simultaneously with vegetation clearance activities. Trained biologists actively searched for amphibians and reptiles in different microhabitats, including vegetation, leaf litter, and near water bodies. Individuals encountered were manually captured to prevent injury, identified in the field, and released immediately whenever possible. One specimen of Oxybelis fulgidus that was injured during vegetation suppression was collected, preserved, and deposited in a scientific collection. All occurrence records were georeferenced using handheld GPS units, and coordinates were recorded in decimal degrees.

Method step description:

1. Field activities were conducted following a standardized protocol during vegetation clearance for a mining project in Minaçu, Goiás, Brazil. First, trained biologists inspected the area prior to machinery operation to identify and rescue any vertebrate fauna present. During vegetation removal, continuous monitoring was performed, with active searches for amphibians and reptiles in vegetation, leaf litter, and other potential microhabitats. Captured individuals were manually collected to avoid injury, identified in the field, and released nearby when possible. Injured individuals were collected for scientific purposes and preserved according to herpetological protocols. All occurrences were georeferenced using GPS devices, and the data were subsequently validated, formatted according to Darwin Core standards, and prepared for publication.
