| The objective of our study was to bring data upon the feeding of Bombina variegata population from the Beius Depression region. We observed the trophic spectrum variations depending on the sex and the size of the toads. In the analysed stomachal contains we've found both animal preys, vegetal fragments and shad skins. We found the highest diversity of prey taxons in adults, especially yellow belied toad females. The males of the analysed toads mostly use the so called "active foraging" feeding method. The females and the juveniles apply the "active foraging" method but the "sit and wait" technique as well. The studied toads consumed mostly terrestrial animal preys. |
