Amphibians are heavily dependent on different types of habitats and migrate among them on an annual basis. The most noticed are spring migrations to breeding sites since some species are explosive breeders and they all migrate almost simultaneously. The autumn migration to hibernation sites is more dispersed and takes place at different times. During the spring and autumn migrations, amphibians are frequently victims of the roadkills because roads often intersect their traditional migratory routes....
