Journal Title: Zarządzanie ochroną przyrody w lasach - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
In the present research the issue of mortality of amphibians on traffic routes in Poznan City was undertaken. Moreover, the attention was paid to the capabilities to reduce amphibian mortality on roads. The study included nine previously designated positions that are located in Poznan. On the basis of field investigations directions of mapped migration of amphibians at selected stations were shown and a barrier which prevents migration of amphibians to the place of their reproduction was determined. Mortality, which was presented during the spring migration on the investigation areas, was identified and estimated. Through the field investigation it has also been found wintering and reproduction places of amphibians at selected stations. Amphibian mortality was observed in 3 of 9 investigation areas. On the object No. 2 and No. 4 the highest number of dying migrants were observed during migration to reproduction places (object No. 2 about 900 cases of species common toad Bufo bufo L. and common frog Rana temporaria L., object No. 4 about 150 cases of common frog). These results may be a basis for the decision to start active protection of amphibians in the places where many individuals of this class die in large numbers during the spring and autumn migrations.
