Yellow-Bellied Toad Distribution in Gesäuse National Park and Natura 2000 Area AT221000

Cooperation OGD Österreich and Wikimedia Österreich provide a dataset documenting the distribution of the yellow-bellied toad (Bombina variegata) within the Gesäuse National Park and Natura 2000 area AT221000. The data includes mapping results from 2010 and 2012 surveys, which confirmed the species at specific locations after its first demonstration in 2004. The description notes a population of around 80 adult specimens and discusses habitat challenges.

Use Cases

• Modeling species distribution based on confirmed occurrence locations mentioned in the description.
• Assessing conservation status and population size based on the reported count of adult specimens.
• Analyzing habitat use and threats based on descriptions of artificial ponds and landscape cultivation.
• Evaluating the effectiveness of protected area management for target species as discussed in the report.

Strengths

• Includes specific population estimate of around 80 adult specimens.
• Documents multi-year survey efforts with first demonstration in 2004 and follow-up mappings in 2010 and 2012.
• Identifies specific geographic locations, including the largest population in the Lauferwald area.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
