TRITURUS DOBROGICUS (KIRITZESCU, 1903) IN CARAŞ SEVERIN COUNTY: STATUS AND CONSERVATION IMPLICATIONS

Full text

Abstract: Triturus dobrogicus is signalled in a premier in Caraş Severin County in Caraş Depression. The species occupies a wet area near Iam locality, which is situated near the border with Serbia. T. dobrogicus is present at 89 m altitude in an area with a plain relief. The habitat is characteristic to the species, several amphibian species being identified together with the crested newts: Lissotriton vulgaris, Bombina bombina and Rana dalmatina. The survival of T. dobrogicus in the region is possible due to the existence of an adequate terrestrial habitat and to the fact that the aquatic habitat is not polluted. The measures that must be taken in order to assure its survival are discussed.
