Area of habitat maps for amphibians and reptiles of Italy

Area of Habitat (AOH) maps reveal the distribution of the habitat available to the species within their geographic range. Information on the distribution of species' habitats can help identify sites where viable populations of a species are found. We produced high resolution (100 m), freely accessible global area of habitat maps for 60 species of reptiles and amphibians distributed in Italy, which represent 60% of all Italian amphibian and reptile species. AOH maps can be used as a reference for conservation planning and can help monitoring habitat loss, which is known to be a major threat to many reptile and amphibian species in Europe.

Data from: revealing hidden biodiversity: novel insights on reptile and amphibian distribution in western Ecuador

We present notable distributional updates for 14 species from western Ecuador (seven amphibians and seven reptiles). Our findings include the northernmost confirmed sighting of Pristimantis kuri (Yánez-Muñoz et al. 2016) and the southernmost documented record of Imantodes inornatus (Boulenger 1896) and Lepidoblepharis buchwaldi (Werner 1910). Additionally, we document new records and notes on the distribution range of Agalychnis spurrelli (Boulenger 1913), Hyloscirtus alytolylax (Duellman 1972), Engystomops montubio (Ron et al. 2004), Pristimantis muricatus (Lynch and Miyata 1980), Pristimantis nyctophylax (Lynch 1976), Pristimantis walkeri (Lynch 1974), Chironius flavopictus (Werner 1909), Chironius grandisquamis (Peters 1869), Dendrophidion graciliverpa (Cadle 2012), Ninia schmidti (Arteaga and Harris 2023), and Urotheca fulviceps (Cope 1886). These observations significantly contribute to filling information gaps in our understanding of these species' distributions. The data, derived from samples collected across diverse forested areas in the western region of Ecuador (provinces of Bolívar, Cañar, Guayas, El Oro, and Los Ríos), provide valuable insights into the ecology and conservation of these species.

Prevalence of Ranavirus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, B. salamandrivorans, and Ophidiomyces ophiodiicola in Amphibians and Reptiles of North Carolina, USA

The viral pathogen Ranavirus (Rv) and the fungal pathogens Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), B. salamandrivorans (Bsal), and Ophidiomyces ophiodiicola (Oo) infect amphibians and reptiles. In recent years, there has been increased interest in reporting the occurrences of these pathogens. North Carolina, USA has a rich diversity of amphibians and reptiles, and is notably the most species-rich U.S. state in salamanders. We assessed prevalence of Rv, Bd, Bsal, and Oo in a broad taxonomic and geographic representation of amphibians and reptiles in North Carolina. Non-lethal skin swabs were taken using standardized methods from 718 amphibians and 254 reptiles, most of which were wild caught across North Carolina, with some captive individuals from living collections at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences and North Carolina State University Veterinary College. The presence and quantity of Rv, Bd, Bsal, or Oo DNA in the swabs was determined by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Rv was found in 29% of the amphibians and reptiles that were tested, Bd was found in 14% of the frogs and salamanders tested, and Oo was found in 10% of the snakes tested. Presence of Bd was positively associated with presence of Rv in frogs but not in salamanders. Rv, Bd, Bsal, and Oo were found in a wide variety of species and across the state. As none of the individuals sampled were apparently sick or coming from populations with recent mass die-off or mortality events, this research suggests that these three pathogens are probably endemic to North Carolina and found naturally in wild populations. Bsal was not found in any samples, consistent with the finding that this pathogen has not yet been detected in the wild anywhere else in the USA. As this pathogen is associated with wild salamander die-offs in Europe, its introduction into salamander-rich North Carolina could be catastrophic. Hence efforts to continue to monitor for Bsal and prevent its introduction into the USA remain very important.

FIGURE 20 in Amphibians and reptiles in North Sweden: distribution, habitat affinities, and abundance (Classes: Amphibia and Reptilia)

FIGURE 20. Talus slopes and screes provide communal hibernation sites for Vipera berus, offering frost-free conditions also in case of early winter weather with little insulating snow cover. Such sites invariably face SW–SE and have early snowmelt that permits earlier spring emergence than in surrounding areas. Mating usually takes place here, after which vipers disperse to summer habitats visible in the background. This picture is from one of the northernmost known hibernation sites in Sweden at 68oN.

The lush herbaceous field layer provides shelter and abundant invertebrate food in summer. Population density at this site has been estimated at up to 7500 and 6000 adults/km2 of Rana temporaria and R. arvalis, respectively. Bölesholmarna, Umeå, Västerbotten, Middle Boreal region.

FIGURE 17. Rana temporaria is the only amphibian breeding in alpine heath habitats well above tree line in the Scandic Mountains of North Sweden. Among the variety of wetland types available, chorusing and spawning invariably take place in shallow ponds with moderate to sparse vegetation. Despite high altitude and latitude, a short annual activity period, and a cool overall climate, breeding ponds enjoy constant daylight, high insolation and thus warm up rapidly.
