Abstract

Life cycle of amphibian community inhabiting two artificial ponds on the eastern edge of the native distribution of the endangered species Alytes dickhilleni Arntzen and García- Paris, 1995, was studied over a complete annual cycle (from December 2016 to November 2017). We confirm the breeding status of the target species and two more, Bufo spinosus Daudin, 1803 and Pelophylax perezi (López-Seoane, 1885). Breeding cycles of A. dickhilleni and P. perezi showed similar phenology to available data from other natural and manmade ponds on Region of Murcia; conversely, B. spinosus showed a slightly advanced cycle. This study highlights the important role of artificial and traditional livestock ponds to conservation of A. dickhilleni population in Iberian southeast.
