Journal Title: Roczniki Bieszczadzkie - Year 2010, Vol 18, Issue 1

Abstract

The aim of the monitoring was to check the species composition of amphibians in artificial small ponds and the colonization rate inside these ponds that have been used to improve breeding abilities of amphibians in the Bieszczady National Park. In the period of 2007–2009 above 200 small ponds were analysed and occurrence of 3087 individuals of amphibians was recorded. Thee data analysis shows co-predominance of yellow bellied toad and Carpathian newt nevertheless the proportion between the number of these species is still fluctuating. Collected data ensure that implemented protective action are conductive for many species including mountainous species (Carpathian newt and alpine newt, yellowbellied toad) as well as lowland species like crested newt and smooth newt. Very interesting is occurrence of some rare invertebrates species like dragon$ies or coleopterans existing and breeding in these artificial ponds.
