Abstract | The common toad (Bufo bufo) is a typical European species inhabiting a wide variety of habitats. Herein, we report three new high-altitude breeding sites of Bufo bufo in the Italian Dolomites. The sites are found respectively at 2271, 2213 and 2060 m a.s.l. in Paneveggio-Pale di San Martino Nature Park (province of Trento, Italy) and constitute a new provincial altitudinal record for this species. Whether or not these sites became colonized only in recent times as a result of an upward elevational shift is unclear. |
