摘要

毛猴是非洲西北部一种鲜为人知的两栖动物。这种小蟾蜍出现在摩洛哥北部山区的几个分散的亚群中，它受到森林砍伐和溪流污染的威胁。在这项研究中，我们通过将研究地点的特征与基线条件进行比较，首次评估了可能影响其存在的环境因素（栖息地和气候）。结果表明，植被覆盖与两栖动物的存在呈正相关，这可能是由植物覆盖的环境缓冲作用介导的。确保对河岸森林和溪流的充分保护可能是保护这种濒危两栖动物的最有效策略。

Shedding light on a threatened midwife toad: fine-scale niche modelling of the Moroccan endemic Alytes maurus (Pasteur and Bons 1962)

ABSTRACT Alytes maurus is one of the lesser-known amphibians of northwestern Africa. This small toad appears in several fragmented subpopulations in the mountainous systems of northern Morocco and it is threatened by deforestation and the pollution of streams. In this study, we evaluate, for the first time, the environmental factors (habitat and climate) that may influence its presence, by comparing the characteristics of the study sites with baseline conditions. The results indicate that the vegetation cover is positively related to the presence of this amphibian, which is possibly mediated by the environmental buffering effect of the plant cover. To ensure the adequate protection of riparian forests and streams is possibly the most efficient strategy for the conservation of this endangered amphibian.

期刊介绍： African Journal of Herpetology (AJH) serves as an outlet for original research on the biology of African amphibians and reptiles. AJH is an interdisciplinary journal that publishes original articles and reviews from diverse fields and disciplines, such as conservation, phylogenetics, evolution, systematics, performance, physiology, ecology, behavioural ecology, ethology, and morphology. The Journal publishes two issues a year. There are no page charges .
