The habitat preferences of amphibians in the catchment area of the Zagożdżonka River. The habitat preferences of amphibians in the catchment area of the Zagożdżonka River. The aim of the study was to describe habitats of amhibians in the small river Zagożdżonka catchment, situated in Central Poland, in the area of Kozienicki Landscape Park. The occurrence of amphibians was recorded in relation to water and terrestrial habitat features. The observations were carried out at 16 transects. The presence of 7 species of amphibians, common to lowlands was recorded. Higher number of species was stated in ponds or reservoirs without running water, with rather small size. The most common species were Rana esculenta complex and Rana temporaria. The breeding of Triturus cristatus, the endangered species within Europe territory, was recorded at four transects. Authors suggest to continue research on amphibians in this area to find what is the influence of human activities on this group of animals.
