Description
Habitat
Typically found in a lake at a mean distance from sea level of 328 meters (1,075 feet).[1]
Ecology:
The species is associated with clear, well-oxygenated, small- to
medium-sized slightly acidic streams
(although in Portugal it has
been found in water with pH 7-8), with dense surrounding vegetation
in mountainous and hilly areas. The species has also been recorded
from caves and abandoned flooded mines. It is associated with broad-leaved
oak forest
, and occurs in secondary vegetation, but not usually in
commercial
plantations. Animals have been recorded from eucalypt
plantations, pine forests and even shrubland (Taxus or Erica)
(Iñigo Martínez-Solano pers. comm.
December, 2008). The females lay
approximately 12-20 eggs
in shallow stream water, often attaching
the eggs to the bottom
substrate. It is often associated with areas
of traditional farming practices, and is particularly found in dry
stonewalls. Some populations in north-western Spain have disappeared
following replacement of broad-leaved forest with other habitats
.
