Inter and intra specific cannibalism and aggressiveness within the Triturus cristatus superspecies: hungry or crowded?
Journal Title: Aquaculture, Aquarium, Conservation & Legislation - International Journal of the Bioflux Society - Year 2009, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
The authors focused their observations on the agresivity behavior of great crested newts from an urban population within the Municipality of Bucharest. The investigations intended to elucidate whether the aggresive behavior is generated by feeding-related features or by reasons of population dynamics, in the form of density regulation or territoriality. Nevertheless, observations regarding the attack on other species of newts (alpine newts – Triturus alpestris) or on the occurence of attacks within age cathegories and differrent biological periods (aquatic larvae, aquatic juveniles, aquatic reproductive adults, terrestrial active adults, terrestrial hibernating adults) were concerned.
