Reproductive dynamics of three amphibian species in Mediterranean wetlands: the role of local precipitation and hydrological regimes

<p style="text-align: justify;">Although the influence of water availability and precipitation regimes on amphibians has been studied at large scales, whether and how interannual rainfall and hydrological variations affect amphibians dynamics at a local scale have rarely been addressed. In this respect, accounting for variations in species detectability in space and time has also been overlooked.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">The scientifics assessed the effects of rainfall and hydrological variations on the breeding dynamics of three amphibian taxa: Pelodytes punctatus, Hyla meridionalis and Pelophylax in the Camargue region over a 7-year study period.</p>
