Study sites and sampling design.
(A) Location of Santa Teresa municipality in the original extent of Brazil’s Atlantic Forest, (B) 21 sampled sites, adjacent to abandoned pasture (red circle), coffee plantation (blue triangle), and Eucalyptus plantation (yellow square), located within and around a biological reserve, and (C) sampling design showing a 250 m transect with paired plots (black square) by distance from the forest edge.

Model comparison of frog richness and abundance.
Response variables evaluated in relation to 'Breeding guild', 'Distance', 'Matrix type', and 'Season' across 21 sites in the mountainous region of Brazil’s Atlantic Forest.

Response to edge effect by breeding guild.
(A) Mean richness and (B) abundance of breeding guilds across distance from the forest edge across 21 sites.
Table 3.
Microclimate variables and habitat characteristics.
Measurements conducted by 'Distance' across 21 sites. Values are mean ± standard deviation.
Fig 3.
Use of matrix types by breeding guild.
Mean and standard error of (A) richness and (B) abundance of breeding guilds inside seven replicates of each matrix type. Means with different letters are significantly different (χ2; P < 0.05).
