Journal Title: Advances in Environmental Sciences - International Journal of the Bioflux Society - Year 2009, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
In the researched area we identified 12 amphibian species: Salamandra salamndra, Lissotriton vulgaris, Triturus cristatus, Mesotriton alpestris, Lissotriton montandoni, Bombina variegata, Bufo bufo, Bufo viridis, Hyla arborea, Pelophylax ridibundus, Rana dalmatina and Rana temporaria and 9 reptile species: Lacerta agilis, Lacerta viridis, Zootoca vivipara, Podarcis muralis, Anguis fragilis, Natrix natrix, Zamenis longissimus, Coronella austriaca and Vipera berus. Within the region we identified species quoted (Cogălniceanu et al. 2000, Ghiurcă et al. 2005, Gherghel et al. 2008, Iftime et al. 2008) to have the lowest altitudinal limit of their spreading area at much higher altitudes. Most of the amphibian and reptilian species are not endangered in the researched area.
