Enhancing Habitat Diversity
... Large species populations are likely to be more resilient than small ones, so boosting breeding success by focusing on the aquatic habitat seems logical. However, creation of more breeding pools alone is not enough to boost natterjack numbers in the long term. Doing so successfully requires close mo ...
