Abstract
Amphibian populations, in Belgium and elswhere in the world, suffer significant regressions sometimes down to extinction. The causes are varied, acting at both local and global scales: habitat destruction, fragmentation and change, invasive species introduction, pollutions, pathogens transmissions, road traffic, global change. To protect species efficiently and to apply adequate conservation measures, it is first needed to know their distribution range and status but also their ecology. Biological conservation is then at the interface of fundamental and applied research.In our research unit, we focus on these varied axes of biological conservation in looking at both inter and intraspecific diversity (species communities and polymorphisms): landscape ecology, freshwater pollution, introductions of invasive species, emerging diseases.
