Abstract
Amphibians are declining worldwide because of multiple factors, including human-mediated introduction of fishes into naturally fishless areas. Although several studies have focused on the effect of exotic fishes on native amphibians breeding in ponds or lakes, little is known about their effects on stream-breeding species. We studied the effects of introductions of native brown trout (Salmo trutta) and exotic brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) on the stream-breeding, endemic Iberian frog (Rana iberica) in a protected area in central Spain. We assessed occurrence patterns of tadpoles and salmonids and compared habitat use of the three species. We also determined experimentally whether chemical cues from salmonids elicited antipredator behavior in tadpoles. Finally, we assessed the relative influence of tadpole habitat preferences, differences in salmonid species, and invasion geography on tadpole occurrence. Despite widely overlapping habitat preferences, tadpoles and trout did not coexist, with the former restricted to fishless habitats. Tadpoles detected chemical cues from both trout species and reacted by decreasing their activity, although the response toward the native brown trout was stronger The residual distribution of Iberian frogs in Peñalara is better explained by the geography of fish invasions than by the fish species involved. Measures such as fish extirpation from certain areas, aimed at recovering lost habitat and improving connectivity among remaining populations of Iberian frogs, seem critical for the species' long-term survival in central Spain.
Populasi amfibi mengalami penurunan di seluruh dunia akibat berbagai faktor, termasuk introduksi ikan oleh manusia ke area-area yang secara alami bebas ikan. Meskipun beberapa penelitian telah berfokus pada dampak ikan eksotis terhadap amfibi asli yang berkembang biak di kolam atau danau, masih sedikit yang diketahui mengenai dampaknya terhadap spesies yang berkembang biak di aliran sungai. Kami meneliti dampak introduksi *brown trout* asli (*Salmo trutta*) dan *brook trout* eksotis (*Salvelinus fontinalis*) terhadap katak Iberia endemik yang berkembang biak di sungai (*Rana iberica*) di kawasan lindung di Spanyol bagian tengah. Kami menilai pola keterjadian berudu dan salmonid serta membandingkan penggunaan habitat dari ketiga spesies tersebut. Kami juga menentukan secara eksperimental apakah isyarat kimiawi dari salmonid memicu perilaku antipredator pada berudu. Terakhir, kami menilai pengaruh relatif preferensi habitat berudu, perbedaan spesies salmonid, dan geografi invasi terhadap keterjadian berudu. Terlepas dari preferensi habitat yang saling tumpang tindih secara luas, berudu dan trout tidak hidup berdampingan, di mana kelompok yang pertama terbatas pada habitat yang bebas ikan. Berudu mendeteksi isyarat kimiawi dari kedua spesies trout dan bereaksi dengan mengurangi aktivitas mereka, meskipun respons terhadap *brown trout* asli lebih kuat. Distribusi residual katak Iberia di Peñalara lebih dapat dijelaskan oleh geografi invasi ikan daripada oleh spesies ikan yang terlibat. Langkah-langkah seperti ekstirpasi ikan dari area tertentu, yang bertujuan memulihkan habitat yang hilang dan meningkatkan konektivitas antarpopulasi katak Iberia yang tersisa, tampak sangat penting bagi kelangsungan hidup jangka panjang spesies tersebut di Spanyol bagian tengah.
