Terrestrial vertebrates of Dobrogea - Romania and Bulgaria

Abstract: Abstract. The authors report the state of the terrestrial vertebrates of Romanian and Bulgarian Dobrogea. Five amphibian species, eight of reptiles, 159 of birds and 39 mammals species were inventoried. Some of them are characteristic to the steppe areas, in which Dobrogea is included, and others (as amphibians) have a limited distribution, around water flows, pools and lakes. Some of the observed or collected species have populations which can be compared in the two parts of Dobrogea, while the others (e.g. C… Show more

“…We noted a lack of research interest in central and southern Dobrogea, where most of the agricultural landscape is located, and only small patches of natural habitats remain as wildlife refuges ( Rey et al 2007 ). However, agricultural landscapes are essential for many species protected by Habitats Directive, such as Vormela peregusna , Mustela eversmanii , Spermophilus citellus , Mesocricetus newtoni , and Cricetus cricetus ( Popescu and Murariu 2001 , Murariu and Munteanu 2005 , Murariu et al 2009 , 2010 ). Those identified species have restrictive ecological requirements, and hence, the researchers should focus on increasing sampling effort in these neglected areas to draft appropriate conservation plans.…”

“…Within Dobrogea, highlands and floodplains gained extensive protection while lowlands occupied by arable lands remained largely unprotected. However, the latter areas are inhabited by endangered species such as the marbled polecat ( Vormela peregusna ) and the steppe polecat ( Mustela eversmanii ) ( Murariu et al 2009 , 2010 ).…”
