Abstract

Presentamos un inventario de anuros en la zona de amortiguamiento del Parque Internacional La Amistad, realizado por personas locales. Discutimos los resultados en torno al marco de Ciencia Ciudadana y su aplicación para estudios de anfibios, así como el nivel de incertidumbre de la identificación de especies por fotografías. Registramos 15 especies de anuros, de las cuales seis fueron identificadas de forma confiable, la estimación de riqueza extrapolada fue de ~20 especies. Reconocemos la extensión altitudinal de Scinax boulengeri. En muchas áreas rurales del Neotrópico los ciudadanos que podrían involucrarse en investigación son campesinos. Además, los datos que pueden proveer son de áreas aisladas por lo que pueden ser útiles para contribuir en el conocimiento de los anfibios. We present an anuran inventory in the buffer area of La Amistad International Park performed by local people. Results are discussed around the Citizen Science framework and their application for amphibian studies, as well as the uncertainty level of the species’ identification by photographs. Fifteen anuran species were recorded, of which six where considered to be reliably identified, and extrapolated species richness estimate was ~20 species. We recognized the altitudinal extension range of Scinax boulengeri. In many rural areas in the Neotropic the citizens that could be involved in research are farmers. Also, the data they can provide is usually from isolated areas, and therefore can be useful for contributing on amphibian knowledge.
