Several species of amphibians are known to inhabit subterranean habitats. While some species are obligatory cave-dwelling (e.g., Proteus anguinus Laurenti, 1768), others tend to use caves only for limited periods of their lives (Peck, 1974; Romero, 2009). At least 17 species of amphibians that belong to the Italian herpetofauna have on occasion been found in caves or other underground spaces and several of them occasionally breed in subterranean sites. Here we provide the first evidence of a population of yellow-bellied toads (Bombina variegata) exploiting a subterranean habitat

Abstract

Several species of amphibians are known to inhabit subterranean habitats. While some species are obligatory cave-dwelling (e.g., Proteus anguinus Laurenti, 1768), others tend to use caves only for limited periods of their lives (Peck, 1974; Romero, 2009). At least 17 species of amphibians that belong to the Italian herpetofauna have on occasion been found in caves or other underground spaces and several of them occasionally breed in subterranean sites. Here we provide the first evidence of a population of yellow-bellied toads (Bombina variegata) exploiting a subterranean habitat
