038187F68417971AFF3BFC36FD24FBF0.taxon	distribution	Regularly observed during its activity period. The species can be found during the day in spring when both sexes enter the swamps to breed. Unlike B. viridis, B. bufo moves outside the boundaries of the park.	en	Grozdanov, Atanas, Sokolov, Anton, Petrov, Petar, Dimitrov, Dimitar, Atanasov, Vasil, Peshev, Hristo, Mitrevichin, Emanuil (2025): New data on the batrachofauna of South Park, Sofia (Bulgaria) - species composition, distribution, and conservation threats.

038187F68417971AFF3BFD16FE50FCBD.taxon	distribution	Regularly observed in the park, including reproduction in part of the wetlands. The species is well adapted to the urban environment and thus often enters the neighbouring built-up areas near the park. Approximately 2000 juvenile individuals were observed in the western part of the area.	en	Grozdanov, Atanas, Sokolov, Anton, Petrov, Petar, Dimitrov, Dimitar, Atanasov, Vasil, Peshev, Hristo, Mitrevichin, Emanuil (2025): New data on the batrachofauna of South Park, Sofia (Bulgaria) - species composition, distribution, and conservation threats.

038187F68417971AFF3BFBF3FD66FB10.taxon	vernacular_names	Eastern Tree Frog,	en	Grozdanov, Atanas, Sokolov, Anton, Petrov, Petar, Dimitrov, Dimitar, Atanasov, Vasil, Peshev, Hristo, Mitrevichin, Emanuil (2025): New data on the batrachofauna of South Park, Sofia (Bulgaria) - species composition, distribution, and conservation threats.

038187F68417971AFF3BFBF3FD66FB10.taxon	distribution	Even though there are suitable habitats in the park, only one adult and one juvenile individual, which was ingested by a Grass Snake, were registered. Moreover, we did not observe any breeding attempts. For now, the status of H. orientalis is thus unclear, and the species is possibly in significant decline.	en	Grozdanov, Atanas, Sokolov, Anton, Petrov, Petar, Dimitrov, Dimitar, Atanasov, Vasil, Peshev, Hristo, Mitrevichin, Emanuil (2025): New data on the batrachofauna of South Park, Sofia (Bulgaria) - species composition, distribution, and conservation threats.

038187F68417971AFF3BFA58FE03F98D.taxon	distribution	Widespread species in both natural and artificial water bodies across the study area. The species density was higher in the natural swamp areas, which are rich with aquatic and coastal vegetation.	en	Grozdanov, Atanas, Sokolov, Anton, Petrov, Petar, Dimitrov, Dimitar, Atanasov, Vasil, Peshev, Hristo, Mitrevichin, Emanuil (2025): New data on the batrachofauna of South Park, Sofia (Bulgaria) - species composition, distribution, and conservation threats.

038187F68417971AFF3BFA93FD7CFA56.taxon	distribution	Regularly reproducing in some wetlands in the park. After the breeding season, the adults were rarely seen on dry land. This is probably because they enter the most undisturbed forest and shrubland areas.	en	Grozdanov, Atanas, Sokolov, Anton, Petrov, Petar, Dimitrov, Dimitar, Atanasov, Vasil, Peshev, Hristo, Mitrevichin, Emanuil (2025): New data on the batrachofauna of South Park, Sofia (Bulgaria) - species composition, distribution, and conservation threats.

038187F68417971AFF3BFE76FF59FD9D.taxon	distribution	Regularly occurred in the wetlands in the western part of the study area. Reproducing was confirmed, with regular observations of larval individuals. The maximum number of adult newts registered in the most suitable pond was about 10 individuals per day.	en	Grozdanov, Atanas, Sokolov, Anton, Petrov, Petar, Dimitrov, Dimitar, Atanasov, Vasil, Peshev, Hristo, Mitrevichin, Emanuil (2025): New data on the batrachofauna of South Park, Sofia (Bulgaria) - species composition, distribution, and conservation threats.
