Abundance, growth and feeding of natterjack toads ( Bufo calamita) in a 4-year old-artificial habitat.
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Substantial cohorts of fast growing juveniles were added to the population in the 3rd and 4th year after the creation of the habitat. Subadult natterjacks matured early and dispersed well. Comparison of the natterjack stomach contents and the pitfall-caught invertebrates revealed an absence of any qualitative food preference by the toads, which indicates the possibility of a fast functional response towards temporary and locally abundant prey.-from Authors
