A database of life-history traits of European amphibians.

摘要: In the current context of climate change and landscape fragmentation, efficient conservation strategies require explicit consideration life history traits. This is particularly true for amphibians, which are highly threatened worldwide, composed by more than 7400 species, constitute one most species-rich vertebrate groups. The collection information on traits difficult due to ecology species remoteness their habitats. It therefore not surprising that our knowledge limited, missing certain common in this group. We compiled data amphibian from literature an extensive database with morphological behavioral traits, habitat preferences movement abilities 86 European (50 Anuran 36 Urodela species). When it were available, we reported males, females, juveniles tadpoles. Our may serve as important starting point further analyses regarding conservation.
