E-mail: [email protected] 2 Viale dello Statuto 37, Latina, Italy. Submitted on 2016, 27th February; revised on 2016, 27th June; accepted on 2016, 7th July Editor: Gentile Francesco Ficetola Abstract. The Circeo National Park lies in a territory that was deeply shaped by human activity, and represents one of the few remaining patches of plain wetland habitat in Central Italy. In this study distribution and few demographic information of the amphibians in the Park were provided. Seven species and 25 bibliographic and 84 original breeding sites were recorded, and population size estimations were carried out for a population of these three species: Pelophylax sinkl esculentus, Bufo balearicus and Rana dalmatina. For the studied populations of pool frog and green toad the oper- ational sex ratio and the demographic effective population size was also estimated. For Rana dalmatina, which is strictly associated to forest environment, a positive and significant correlation between the number of egg clutches and maxi- mum depth of the swamps was found. The State plain forest is the most important habitat for amphibians’ conservation in the park. The occurrence of dangerous alien species was investigated and they are evaluated as the major threat for amphibians in the park, especially the crayfish Procambarus clarkii in the State plain forest.

    Ideas. Where to Stay and Eat in Gargano Published on iItaly.org (http://iitaly.org) Ideas. Where to Stay and Eat in Gargano I. I. (July 21, 2016) For some years now, Gargano has striven to become a superior tourist destination. Its historical centers have been restored, giving rise to popular hotels and unique B&Bs. Talented chefs have introduced a cuisine that blends tradition with innovation, and small restaurants are opening or being renovated on every street corner. Finally, handicraft is being reintroduced with all the charm it once had. Here we propose just a few places to stay and eat that will get your mouth watering. Where to Stay: Relax and Enjoy B&B Casanita Via Simone Vestano 16 Vieste (Foggia) Page 1 of 3 Ideas. Where to Stay and Eat in Gargano Published on iItaly.org (http://iitaly.org) ◗ www.bbcasanita.com [2] On the rugged coast-line of Vieste, with white walls overlooking the sea and lush greenery, you will find some of the most popular tourist properties in Gargano. Not far from the lively historical center, situated right in front of the Castello di Federico II, there is a B&B with only four rooms and two spacious terraces, from which you can enjoy spectacular views. B&B Casanita will provide a rare experience due to the particular attention it has paid to conserving the typical architectural characteristics of the town.
