Perhitungan frekuensi keterdapatan (Fi) menggunakan persamaan yang diadopsi dari (Misra, 1968 dalam Ismawan et al, 2015) yaitu: Indeks keanekaragaman berdasarkan ShannonWiener: H’= -Σ Pi Ln Pi. Selama sampling, total dijumpai 9 jenis katak dan kodok, yaitu: Duttaphrynus melanostictus (kodok buduk, kodok puru), Ingerophrynus biporcatus (kodok puru hutan), Fejervarya limnocharis (katak tegalan), Kaloula baleata (belentuk), Occidozyga lima (bancet hijau), Occidozyga sumatrana (bancet rawa Sumatera), Microhyla orientalis (percil), Microhyla palmipes (percil berselaput), dan Polypedates leucomystax (katak pohon bergaris) (Tabel 1).
