Abstract

The influence of spatial obstruction of access to food of the common spade foot toad, Pelobates fuscus (Laurenti, 1768) was tested in the laboratory. Structures of two different habitats, namely cereal and fallow, were simulated. Crickets ( Acheta domestica) were used as prey. The amphibians were significantly more successful in capturing insects in the linear simulation of cereal, than in the disorganised simulation of fallow land.
