The knowledge of a species’ spatial ecology is essential for its conservation as it helps to implement targeted protection measures to suitable habitats. In 2011 and 2013, two French populations of ocellated lizards Timon lepidus were monitored through very high frequency (VHF) radio telemetry in two distinct Mediterranean habitats: a 77 ha scrubland (n = 8) and a 1590 ha semi-arid steppe (n = 11) corresponding to a heterogeneous and homogeneous habitat respectively.  Leer más.

Population monitoring is essential to determine different aspects of the ecology and conservation of the species. In anurans, recording the acoustic activity of choruses allows surveying populations. Therefore, knowing the timing of male calls is fundamental to achieve this goal. Here we monitored calling activity of the Mediterranean tree frog (Hyla meridionalis) at eight localities in southern Iberian Peninsula and western North Africa in the frame of a citizen science program.  Leer más.

Hace unas semanas nos avisaron de que en un abrevadero donde cría el sapo partero bético (Alytes dickhilleni) había muy poca agua, así que decidimos ir a verlo. Aunque son numerosos los enclaves donde se reproduce esta especie, muchos presentan graves problemas y es frecuente que la reproducción no llegue a buen término.   Leer más.
