Monitoring ist ein unverzichtbarer Teil des Naturschutzes, denn Monitoring informiert über den Zustand der Biodiversität und liefert so die notwendigen Grundlagen für die Evaluation der praktischen Naturschutzarbeit und für die zu ergreifenden Schutzmassnahmen. Während klassische Monitorings mittels Nachweis von Arten oder Artengruppen direkt im Feld durchgeführt werden, sind kürzlich Methoden entwickelt worden, welche Umwelt-DNA (eDNA) für den Artnachweis verwenden.

Amphibians, a class of animals in global decline, are present in agricultural landscapes characterized by agrochemical inputs. Effects of pesticides on terrestrial life stages of amphibians such as juvenile and adult frogs, toads and newts are little understood and a specific risk assessment for pesticide exposure, mandatory for other vertebrate groups, is currently not conducted. We studied the effects of seven pesticide products on juvenile European common frogs (Rana temporaria) in an agricultural overspray scenario.

Non-native fish often negatively affect amphibian populations. The sunbleak (Leucaspius delineatus), a small cyprinid fish, is often released into ponds that support amphibian populations because it is thought not to consume amphibian larvae; the argument was based on diet analyses. Here, we present results from a laboratory experiment that demonstrates that sunbleak consume amphibian eggs and larvae. Mortality of eggs and small tadpoles was 100%.
