Description
Summary:Great Crested Newt Triturus cristatus (Laurenti 1768) Distribution (Figure 3). Included records from Artportalen (N=320): due to risk of confusion with the more widespread Lissotriton vulgaris only records documented by a photograph or made by experienced observers have been included. Widely distributed in the Southern Boreal; in a regular sampling grid covering the entire provinces of Gästrikland and Hälsingland, Sterner (2005) found the species in 21% of 111 squares in which randomly selected wetlands (<1 hectare, presumed free from predatory fish) were investigated. It is more evenly distributed in Gästrikland than in Hälsingland, and in both provinces there is a clear pattern of more numerous occurrence in areas near the coast. In a similar randomized survey of Medelpad and southern Ångermanland, Olofsson et al. (2008) recorded the species in 3% of 155 randomly selected small wetlands. In coastal southern Medelpad the occurrence is more or less continuous (Aronsson et al. 2005), as it is in coastal ... : Published as part of Elmberg, Johan, 2023, Amphibians and reptiles in North Sweden: distribution, habitat affinities, and abundance (Classes: Amphibia and Reptilia), pp. 301-335 in Zootaxa 5301 (3) on pages 308-309, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5301.3.1, http://zenodo.org/record/8030434 ...
