The European green toad, Bufotes viridis, in Donaufeld (Vienna, Austria): status and size of the population
The European green toad, Bufotes viridis (Laurenti, 1768), is a rare and protected species in Vienna. In spring and summer 2020, we conducted a survey to assess size and status of its population in Donaufeld, an agricultural area designated for real estate development.
