The paper is based on the material of 473 specimens belonging to 13 species, collected in 26 localities of Thrace during the years 1984-1991. Additional information was obtained by owl pellet analysis and field observations. These data together with all literary records available from the area were summarized and plotted on maps. Recent records reveal the occurrence of 6 insectivore and 17 rodent species in Thrace. Six of these (Sciurus vulgaris, Glis glis, Micromys minutus, Apodemus agrarius, Rattus norvegicus and Clethrionomys glareolus) are reported for the first time from this region. An outline of the zoogeographical analysis of the small mammal fauna of Thrace is suggested. Special attention has been paid to the identification of Neomys, Crocidura and Mus species according to the skull remnants obtained from owl pellet analysis.}, keywords = {KAPE Mammalia}, author = {Vohralik, V. and Sofianidou, T.

We compared the allelic variation of eight enzyme loci and of two non-enzymatic proteins among populations and species using the UPGMA-, Fitch-Margoliash- and maximum-likelihood-methods. The variability between conspecific populations was considerably smaller than the interspecific variability. Moreover, at the ADA locus alternatively fixed alleles were found in R. balcanica and R. ridibunda.

The populations of Thrace and of the island of Samothraki form a group giving the same type of mating call, whereas the mating call of the other populations differs in the degree of temperature dependence of four parameters, and specifically in the number of pulses/pulse group and pulse groups/call. Discriminant functions distinguish even single call series with a probability of 97 \%, intermediate mating calls are absent, and there is a significant, but slight differentiation of external morphological characters. These results have strong taxonomic implications. We conclude that the lake frogs of Greece comprise two species.The mating call of the lake frogs from Thrace resembles in all parameters that of the Rana ridibunda in the terra typica restricta (Guryev CIS). Accordingly, the lake frogs of eastern Greece belong to R. ridibunda. The mating call of these lake frogs consists of 20 pulses/pulse group and of 7 pulse groups/call on the average. Most of Greece is inhabited by the second taxon, Rana balcanica sp. n. Its mating call is characterized by 27 pulses/pulse group and 4 pulse groups/call on the average.The two species in Greece do not differ with respect to coloration and size, but several standardized indices vary significantly: body length/digitus primus length; body length/callus internus length; body length/snout-eye distance; body length/tympanum diameter; tibia length/callus internus length; maximal head width/snout-eye distance.}, keywords = {Amphibia, Anura, behavior, external morphology, israeli, mating call, multivariate statistics, northern Greece, populations, rana-balcanica sp-n, rana-ridibunda, Ranidae, species description, taxonomy, toad, vocalization}, author = {Schneider, H. and Sinsch, U. and Sofianidou, T.
