Preliminary data on wintering habits of an intra-urban population of hybrid newts Triturus cristatus X Triturus dobrogicus (Caudata: Salamandridae)
Journal Title: Aquaculture, Aquarium, Conservation & Legislation - International Journal of the Bioflux Society - Year 2009, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
The study focuses on an intra – urban population of Triturus cristatus x Triturus dobrogicus located in the Cismigiu Garden in Bucharest. The aim was to observe how microhabitat choice influences the success of overwintering, translated not only in survival, but also in changes in body condition, in a situation of anthropogenic pressure. We also searched for answers as for what motivates differences in wintering habits (regarding shelter features as well as gregariousness) between individuals of different age groups and different reproductive condition.
