Abstract
The main habitat types in Kurtuvėnai Regional Park (KRP) were sampled for amphibians in 1997-1998. Presence or absence of the species was documented using visual encounter surveys, line counting and larval sampling. Overall, 10 species were found. Predominant species in KRP forests and meadows are common toad (Bufo bufo) and grass frog (Rana temporaria), in ponds and lakes – little water frog (Rana lessonae). Only two localities of crested newt (Triturus cristatus) and one of green toad (Bufo viridis) were found in KRP. According to indicators of biological diversity, the diversity of the amphibians observed in KRP is quite high (H = 2.502, λ = 0.209).
