Amphibian Communities In Biogeocoenosis With Different Stages Of Anthropogenic Clymax
Abstract
A. A. Marchenkovskaya
We examined the abundance of juvenile (fingerlings and yearlings) and sexually mature (3-6 years) of various anurans at various biotopes with different degrees of anthropogenic influence. Population analysis has revealed that the number of juveniles in all the habitats are depended on type and level of anthropogenic influence. In all the habitats the most numerous species was synanthropic bufo viridis. In biotopes with high contamination of pollutants, only one species of amphibians - the marsh frog has populations with juveniles migrating here in the early fall. The highest number of mature individuals registered for the population of Bombina bombina, pelobates fuscus and in one biotope for hyla arborea. The populations of pelophylax ridibundus could be considered as the most balanced by number of juvenile and mature individuals.
