Abstract

The article discusses a study of the synthesis of direct evidence of predation on native frogs in New Zealand (NZ). Topics mentioned include the frog species in the native amphibian fauna of NZ including Maud Island frog and Archey's frog, the predator-prey interactions involving frogs as prey, and the impacts of birds, fish and reptiles on native frogs. Also mentioned are the strategies for ensuring the survival of native frogs including habitat enhancement and habitat translocation.
