Abstract

A are a highly endangered vertebrate class in Europe (Temple & Cox, 2009) and all European species are protected by the European Union Habitats Directive 92/43/EEC. Small headwater, 1st to 3rd order streams account for 60–80 % of the streams of a catchment area (Benda et al., 2005; Spänhoff et al., 2012; Ulevičius et al., 2011), and their associated floodplains are considered to support naturally low amphibian species richness across large areas of northern and temperate Europe (Günther, 1996; Thiesmeier, 2004; Weddeling & Willigalla, 2011). In south-west Europe (west of the Pyrenees) and in the European Mediterranean regions, several amphibian species, including Salamandrina terdigitata, Chioglossa lusitanica, Rana graeca, R. italica and R. iberica occur in flowing waters (Nöllert & Nöllert, 1992), whilst their numbers are very limited in the rest of Europe. In the temperate regions east of the Pyrenees there is only one amphibian species, the fire salamander Salamandra salamandra, which tends to inhabit small headwater streams, breeding in fish-free streams but also in associated floodplain ponds (Thiesmeier & Günther, 1996). Additional species are more commonly found in adjacent floodplain ponds, inlcuding palmate and alpine newts Lissotriton helveticus and Ichthyosaura alpestris, the common frog Rana temporaria (Weddeling & Willigalla, 2011) and to a lesser extent the midwife toad Alytes obstetricans (Borgula & Zumbach, 2003). Outside of this area, there are no amphibian species in eastern and northern Europe that prefer to reproduce in flowing waters. Compared to floodplains of larger lowland and gravel-bed rivers, the floodplains of these headwater streams have fewer ponds, lower hydrodynamics and unfavourable thermal conditions due to associated closedcanopy riparian forests (Skelly & Freidenburg, 2000).

海狸蓖麻纤维对欧洲温带河流泛滥平原两栖动物群落影响的研究进展
A是欧洲高度濒危的脊椎动物(Temple & Cox, 2009),所有欧洲物种都受到欧盟栖息地指令92/43/EEC的保护。小源头,一至三级溪流占集水区溪流的60 - 80% (Benda et al., 2005;Spänhoff等人,2012;ulevi等人,2011)及其相关洪泛平原被认为支持欧洲北部和温带大片地区自然低的两栖动物物种丰富度(g nther, 1996;Thiesmeier, 2004;weddeling&willigalla, 2011)。在欧洲西南部(比利牛斯山脉西部)和欧洲地中海地区,几种两栖动物物种,包括terdigitata Salamandrina、Chioglossa lusitanica、Rana graeca、R. italica和R. iberica出现在流水中(Nöllert & Nöllert, 1992),而它们在欧洲其他地区的数量非常有限。在比利牛斯山脉以东的温带地区,只有一种两栖动物,火鲵Salamandra Salamandra,它们倾向于栖息在小的源头溪流中,在无鱼的溪流中繁殖,但也在相关的洪泛平原池塘中繁殖(Thiesmeier & g nther, 1996)。其他物种更常在邻近的洪泛平原池塘中发现,包括棕榈蝾螈和高山蝾螈Lissotriton helveticus和alpestris鱼龙,常见的蛙蛙(Weddeling & Willigalla, 2011),以及较小程度的助产士蟾蜍Alytes obstetricans (Borgula & Zumbach, 2003)。在这个区域之外,东欧和北欧没有两栖动物喜欢在流动的水中繁殖。与较大的低地和砾石河床河流的洪泛平原相比,这些源头溪流的洪泛平原由于相关的封闭树冠河岸森林而具有较少的池塘,较低的水动力和不利的热条件(Skelly & Freidenburg, 2000)。海狸蓖麻纤维对欧洲温带河流泛滥平原两栖动物群落影响的研究进展
