The field course is centered on quantitative methods for estimating population sizes of amphibians, by means of spawn counts, call surveys and mark-recapture of individually registered animals. Field work in Vienna (Vienna Woods, Lobau, urban area) will introduce the participants to the ecology of locally occurring species and provide insights into conservation problems in urban areas. In the Waldviertel-region of Lower Austria we will visit gravel pits which are secondary habitats of many amphibian species. We will assess habitat management in these areas important for both economy and conservation, focussing on measures to support amphibian populations (especially the natterjack toad).
Field work in small teams; flexible schedule, depending on weather conditions and activities of the amphibians.https://limbo.univie.ac.at/LimboMsc.htm
