This figure shows only LEMIS import data for live amphibian shipments that were recorded in terms of numbers of individuals. Colors indicate the amphibian taxonomic order, and the ordering of categories within each stacked bar corresponds to ordering in the legend. Note that caecilians (order Gymnophiona) represent an extremely small portion (<1%) of live amphibian imports annually.
