Pitfall traps4/26/2023 Most lizards and medium-sized and large snake species were captured more often in funnel traps, but semifossorial lizard (Le, Eumeces egregius) and snake (e.g, Tantilla relicta) species were usually captured in pitfall traps. In most studies, hylid frogs (Hyla, Acris, and Pseudacris) were captured significantly more often in funnel traps, but other anuran groups were captured either more often in funnel traps or equally as often in both types of traps. In general, salamanders, anurans, lizards, and snakes were captured more frequently than expected in funnel traps than in pitfall traps. The effectiveness of pitfall versus funnel traps was examined using drift fence data from five studies that employed different array designs, fencing materials, and numbers of traps in diverse Florida habitats.
