Can human-made structures enhance the genetic diversity and population dynamics of midwife toads (Alytes dickhilleni)?

2026-03-05

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> The Betic midwife toad ( <italic>Alytes dickhilleni</italic> ) is a threatened amphibian endemic to southeastern Spain. Its populations are threatened by current climate change, desertification, habitat fragmentation, and chytridiomycosis. This study evaluates the role of artificial water sources (e.g., livestock ponds and fire ponds) as permanent habitats that support higer genetic...
