L\’erpetofauna nativa della Toscana meridionale comprende 31 specie (13 anfibi e 18 rettili) la maggior parte delle quali tute lata sia dalla \<\<Direttiva Habitat\>\> (Direttiva 43/1992/CEE, recepita con DPR 357/1997), sia dalla recente Legge Regionale sulla tutela della biodiversit\à (LR 56/2000). Di queste, quelle pi\ù significative sono le 17 specie la cui conservazione richiede, o pu\ò richiedere, la designazione di Zone Speciali di Conservazione o di Siti di Importanza Regionale. In questa nota vengono fomiti nuovi dati sulla distribuzione di 11 di queste specie (Salamandra sala,nandra, Salamandnina terdigitata, Tnitirus alpestris, Triturus carnifex, Bombina variegata, Bufo viridis, Rana italica, Coronella austriaca, Coronella girondica, Elaphe quatuorlineata e Natrix tesseliata) che incrementano considerevolmente il numero di quadrati 10 x 10 km del reticolato UTM occupati in Toscana meridionale.

New data on the distribution of amphibians and reptiles of conservation interest in southern Tuscany. The amphibian and reptile fauna native to southern Tuscany includes 31 species (13 amphibians and 18 reptiles), most of which are protected under the Habitats Directive (EEC Directive 43/1992, ratified by Italy with DPR 357/1997) and by the recent Tuscan Regional Law on biodiversity (LR 56/2000). Seventeen species are of particular significance and their conservation warrants or may require designation of Special Conservation Zones or Sites of Regional Importance. In this note, new data is provided on the distribution of eleven of these species (Salamandra salamandra, Salamandrina terdigitata, Triturus alpestris, Triturus carnifex, Bombina variegata, Bufo viridis, Rana italica, Coronella austriaca, Coronella girondica, Elaphe quatuorlineata and Natrix tessellata) which considerably increases the number of 10 x 10 km squares of the UTM grid in which these species are present in southern Tuscany.

Although small carnivore distribution has been widely studied in several countries, not all techniques used for mustelids survey can be efficiently applied in every area and scarce information exists on the effectiveness of different techniques. For this reason we tested three different methods to detect presence and abundance of European pine marten in a forested area of central Italy. Considering the naturally low density of this species and its nocturnal and elusive habits, the choice was addressed to indirect methods: camera trapping, hair tubes, and scats survey. Data were collected from March to June 2009 in 18 km 2 study area, where 90 camera traps and 90 hair tubes were positioned as well as 30 transect lines. Although all these methods are used in mustelids surveys, including pine marten, our results suggest that camera trapping is the only effective method to assess the presence and estimate population density of European pine marten in our study area. We stress the need to test different survey methods before starting species monitoring in a new study area.
