The amphibian community in Saudi Arabia needs additional research attention since not all potentially suitable habitats, particularly those in northern areas, have been studied. Different wetland habitats in Tabuk Province in northwestern Saudi Arabia were surveyed for amphibians in 2021 and 2022. Interestingly, only the Arabian toad was recorded at the sites visited. This finding contributes valuable data to the current amphibian distribution map of Saudi Arabia and suggests the great capacity of this species to inhabit habitats with different conditions and characteristics. Habitat destruction and potential sources of pollution were observed in some of the sites surveyed and, importantly, large construction projects are under way in the majority of amphibian habitats in Tabuk Province. Therefore, further effort is required to explore the less studied areas of Saudi Arabia to aid in the conservation of species, especially those such as amphibians that require specific habitat conditions.","PeriodicalId":48693,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Herpetology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140414255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The cycle for males starts in the spring with warming temperatures and the beginning of the dry-season with testicular enlargement and a decrease in epididimydes size accompanied by sperm production. The epididymis contains sperm mainly in winter, spring and summer. Females exhibited follicular enlargement from November reaching a peak in February when a maximum follicle size of 38.5 mm was observed. Ovulation appears to begin in April or May and oviductal eggs were present in our samples from April – July. Suspected mating activity occurred from January – March when environmental temperatures were lowest and the wet-season peaked. Sexual activity was coincident with the onset of maximum storage of sperm in the epididymis. The overall reproductive cycle of this species is similar to that of other Temperate Zone turtles with the exception that mating occurs in the winter, not in the spring and fall. Winter mating may be a response to the wet-season Mediterranean climates. Rain connects isolated pools in ephemeral rivers and streams in Morocco that form during the dry season, thus providing greater opportunities for access to mates.","PeriodicalId":48693,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Herpetology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140415984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A wide range of metrics have been proposed as condition indices. In this study, we estimated the phenotypic condition of water frog species using the residual condition index. The study was carried out in three localities adjacent to nature preserves in South Banat, Serbia and with different levels of preserved natural features and anthropogenic pressure. Selected localities are typical habitats of water frogs with two parental and their hemiclonal hybrid species present. The localities were scored for suitability of the aquatic and terrestrial habitats. Statistical significance of residual condition index patterns from a multiway ANOVA was obtained for locality but not for species and sex. The lowest condition index was observed in frogs sampled from a locality maintained by human activity and with the lowest habitat suitability. Furthermore, the highest body condition index was obtained on the locality with the highest habitat suitability. One of the parental species, P. ridibundus had the highest overall body condition index while the hybrid species (P. esculentus) had the lowest. None of the three species from the complex had the highest body condition in all three localities, nor the worst.","PeriodicalId":48693,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Herpetology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139005342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This place was located at an altitude of 650 m a.s.l. in mixed coniferous-broad-leaved forest in a narrow river valley. The primary spawning site lay beneath the bottom of a small water body that was two meters away from the main river course. The water in the breeding ground was slightly acidic and slightly mineralized. The local population of O. fischeri begins to reproduce in the end of May, when the water temperature inside the site reaches 6.1 – 7.9°C. This site had been used for egg laying on multiple occasions. We found 72 clutches attached to several small stones (n = 11). There were no large cavities between the stones, only narrow gaps. There were two recently laid clutches, 26 clutches in the late stages of embryogenesis, already empty sacs and fragments of old mucous stalks. O. fischeri lays paired egg sacs measuring 35.4 ± 1.9 mm (34.5 – 38.15; n = 3) in length. Egg arrangement in clutches of O. fischeri was varying: in one (or in two) rows in both sacs, or in one row — in one sac and in two — in the other. The mean number of eggs in each sac was 6.8 ± 1.3 (4 – 10; n = 55), the mean number of eggs in the clutch — 13.6 ± 2.2 (9 – 17; n = 27), the egg diameter — 8.08 ± 0.6 mm (6.71 – 8.9; n = 19). For the first time we recorded the otter (Lutra lutra) actively hunting adult O. fischeri. In late May – early July it preyed upon salamanders near the spawning site. The otter ate heads and bodies of O. fischeri but not tails. Perhaps, a high concentration of muciparous glands with poisonous secretion in the tails prevented the predator from eating them.","PeriodicalId":48693,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Herpetology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139005059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
