A loss of habitat connectivity is often caused by roads. In order to mitigate isolation effects crossing structures such as culverts are frequently used. Because herpetofauna in particular is vulnerable to the negative aspects of habitat fragmentation, functioning crossing structures are of utmost importance. However, little is known about their us...

... sunny and suitable habitat for reptiles has developed. In order to increase the guidance from the heathland areas towards the herpetoduct, these are linked by means of the tree-stump wall. This measures from ca. 25 m on the east side to 50 m on the west side. Egg-laying places (open sandy soils) for L. agilis have been created in the corridors ( fig. ...

Pautscha we Wrocławiu w 2015 roku, porównanie wyników z danymi pochodzącymi z monitoringu prowadzonego od roku 1993 oraz wykazanie aktualnych zagrożeń mogących oddziaływać na siedlisko płazów, w tym zanieczyszczeń metalami ciężkimi. stwierdzono obecność czterech t...
The effects of ice ages on speciation have been well documented for many European and North American taxa. In contrast, very few studies have addressed the consequences of such environmental and topographical changes in North East Asian species. More precisely, the Korean Peninsula offers a unique model to assess patterns and processes of speciatio...
Many features of the urban environment, such as a warmer microclimate, can positively affect populations of birds and mammals inhabiting cities, while at the same time may affect amphibians negatively. Also, amphibians from the temperate zone need both water bodies for reproduction and terrestrial habitats for foraging and hibernation, so changes i...
The Voroncha site is an accumulation of Holocene small vertebrates, from which numerous amphibian and reptile remains have been recovered continuously over the course of many years. The accumulation has been said to represent a badger or fox den on a gully slope. The latest available collection contains some 11,538 herpetofauna bones suitable for s...

... In the meantime, a lot of knowledge and experiences about construction and layout of reptile passages and ecoducts has been collected. Use by adders, of the well-constructed and suitably designed tunnels in the nature reserves Drents Friese Wold, the Fochteloerveen, and on the Elspeet Heathland, has been documented (Struijk, 2011;Struijk et al., 2014). ...
