Transects were established through large recent treefall gaps to determine the relative abundance of different anole species at different distances from the center of the gap.

A single 60m transect was established through two large treefall gaps. Each transect was centered on the center of the treefall gap and extended 30m from the center into the surrounding forest. The species, sex/age, distance along the transect line (m), height above ground level, perch diameter, substrate, and distance from centerline of the transect were recorded.
