Habitat Requirements of Pelobates Fuscus and Leucorrhinia Pectoralis (original) (raw)

AI-generated Abstract

This study investigates the habitat requirements of two declining species, Pelobates fuscus and Leucorrhinia pectoralis, at the northern range of their distribution in Europe. Using data from breeding ponds evaluated in Estonia, Denmark, and the Netherlands, the research identifies key aquatic and terrestrial habitat characteristics essential for these species' survival and reproduction. Findings highlight the need for targeted conservation efforts and habitat restoration to mitigate threats from habitat destruction and decline in population.
