| Summary: | The present paper shows the results of the investigations on distribution of amphibians in Some? river valley. During the Some?/Szamos expedition only 8 species were identified (although 17 species were known from the river valley), mostly due to the timing of the investigations and, in case of the species from hilly and plain areas, due to the destruction of natural habitats. The authors supplementary investigations added other 7 species to the regional faunistical list. The most endangered species of the Some? river valley is the Moor Frog (Rana arvalis): because of habitat destruction, many local populations of this species are already extinct in most of the sites where they were known before. |
