Abstract
- We present nine observations of abnormal amplexus in anurans, reported for the first time from Latvia. In total, nine types of abnormal amplexi are documented for four anuran species: Bombina bombina (Bombinatoridae), Bufo bufo (Bufonidae), Pelophylax lessonae and Rana temporaria (Ranidae). According to the one of our observations, abnormal amplexus resulted in the extirpation of a competing anuran species from a breeding pond for two seasons. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
