| dc.description.abstract | Bulgaria’s herpetofauna has been studied for more than a century. Yet, little information is available on the herpetofauna in the northwestern foothills of the Pirin Mts. Here we present information about eight amphibian and ten reptile species that occur in the area. One of the amphibian species, Bufotes viridis, had not been found until the present study. Road traffic was identified as the biggest threat to the populations of some species. | |
