Characterization of the Microhabitat of the Spawning Site of Zhangixalus lishuiensis
Breeding The Lishui Tree Frog(Zhangixalus lishuiensis)is an endemic species to Zhejiang Province,China.From March to May 2022,a study on its breeding habitat was conducted in the Wangdongyang Provincial Nature Reserve in Jingning,Lishui.A total of 28 sample plots were mea-sured using a sampling method,recording 13 habitat factors,including water temperature,water pH,and vegetation type,to analyze the habitat prefer-ences of Z.lishuiensis.The results showed that Z.lishuiensis tends to dig burrows under grass/moss to lay eggs near clear,oxygen-poor,moderately deep alkaline water bodies,and avoids areas with higher water temperatures.Water body factors and vegetation factors are the main factors influenc-ing the habitat use of Z.lishuiensis.It is recommended to strengthen research on the breeding ecology of Z.lishuiensis and implement habitat protec-tion and restoration measures.
