Abstract:

The aims of the study were determine the effects of anthropogenic pressure on the species composition and population size of amphibians of small water bodies in Olsztyn city (NE Poland). The presence of 11 amphibian species was noted in 83.5% of water bodies. The dominants were: the common frog Rana temporaria, the edible frog Rana esculenta, the pool frog Rana lessonae, the common toad Bufo bufo and the moor frog Rana arvalis. The fire-bellied toad Bombina bombina was an influent, while the common newt Triturns vulgaris, the common spadefoot Pelobates fnsciis, the tree frog Hyla arborea, the green toad Bufo viridis and the crested newt Tritimis cristatus were the recedents. The most frequent were “green frogs”, which occur in 71.9% of water bodies inhabited by amphibians (60.0% of all water bodies). The species characterized by the lowest occurrence frequency were the tree frog (6.0% and 5.0%, respectively), the green toad (5.4% and 4.5%) and the crested newt (3.6% and 3.0%). In the paper the urban pressure on amphibian communities is widely discussed.
