Abstract

First amphibian behavioural observation from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea: predation of a Dryophytes japonicus tadpole by Hydaticus sp. larvae

Highlights

  • Data on the predator-prey relationship of small animal species is still understudied, especially in countries where scientific research is not yet widely shared, such as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea

  • I report the interaction between a Hydaticus sp. larvae and a Dryophytes japonicus treefrog tadpole, where the invertebrate preyed on the vertebrate

  • I report a case of a Hydaticus sp. larvae preying on a D. japonicus tadpole (Fig.) in the Ramsar site Rason Migratory Bird Reserve in Rason in North Hamgyong, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (42.354604°N, 130.579742°E, 3 m a.s.l.) on 5 June 2018
