摘要

In the spring of 2011 we have identified a population of Lissotriton vulgaris, made out of both metamorphs and paedomorphs, in the Carei Plain natural protected area. The number of individuals from the two forms was almost equal, but in both cases the females were predominant. Paedomorphs were observed from April to July, when the habitat dried out because of a year with very little precipitation. The habitat is a former sand quarry that was flooded, making the apparition of paedomorphs probably connected to the initial artificial character of the location. Neighboring areas are currently very little antropically affected.
