Abstract

In this paper, we present the distribution of the Balkan endemic and vulnerable water frog Pelophylax shqipericus in Montenegro based on our field work and literature data. The dataset includes 129 records, 47% of which have not been published before. The new data contribute significantly to a better understanding of the distribution of Pelophylax shqipericus in the Skadar Lake basin and to the delimitation of the northern margin of the species' range in the Bjelopavlići Plain. The data presented provide important basic information for the study of spatial patterns and conservation measures for this range-restricted species.
