雷山髭蟾生态初步观察

雷山髭蟾(Vibrissphora leishanensis)主要栖息在植被类型保存较好、水源充足,海拔在800~2 100 m的山间小溪附近。每年大部分时间栖息在溪流附近陆地上比较阴暗潮湿的环境。雌雄抱对产卵从11月初开始,到月底基本结束。雌雄抱对产卵一般在午后和晚上,有集群产卵和雄蟾守窝护卵的现象。雷山髭蟾可能没有"冬眠"和"夏蛰"习性,即便有也可能很短暂。雷山髭蟾蝌蚪可能需要3年时间才发育成幼蛙。

Preliminary Study on the Ecological Habit of Leishan Moustache Toad (Vibrissphora leishanensis)

Vibrissaphora leishanensis,a special species mainly inhabits nearby brooks 800~2100m above sea level that hold intact vegetation types with sufficient water source.Most of time in a year they reside in relatively , dark and damp conditions. Precopulatory mounting and laying eggs,behaviors of them will finish in general by the end of November .Commonly, precopulatory mounting goes on in the afternoon and at night.There are signs that they lay eggs in clusters and the males guard the nests with eggs.They are likely to live without habits of hibernation and estivation.,the time might be short though with them they lived .Three years time may be necessary for Vibrissaphora leishanensis tadpoles developing to froglets.
