reach from sea level to middle mountainous regions as high as 1,630-2,000 meters above sea level. Though they can live comfortably in that range, they prefer to breed at lower heights of around 60 to 460 meters above sea level. The parsley frog’s habits differ from one ecological niche to another since they are heavily weather-dependent. Because of their diverse range and flexibility in egg-laying and mating habits, different local parsley frogs may not have the same date range as another frog that lives somewhere with a different weather pattern. Behavior Mating and behavior Pelodytes punctatus breed on a temporal schedule.They can breed twice a year, once in the autumn and once in the spring, and having two separate mating seasons is of evolutionary benefit to them since this increases their number of offspring. Otherwise, they would only be able to breed at one point each year. The flexibility in breeding patterns allows them to better adapt to differences in their environment. However, The ponds in which they breed are not necessarily the ponds that they go on to live in as adults.There are three models of breeding. In the opportunity strategy, the frogs may reproduce in both the spring and autumn months of a given year.In the contingent strategy, frogs will select a season to reproduce and stick with it year after year, even if it was not the season when they were born. In the bet-hedging strategy, they switch back and forth between autumn and spring breeding throughout their lives and several breeding seasons, depending on the environment and their own fitness at the time. In France, the breeding season lasts from the end of February to early April; in Portugal, it is from November to March. In Andalusia, this parsley frog may spawn several times a year, and the bimodal mating can be seen in various other habitats as well. Parsley frogs generally tend to lay eggs following intense rainfall. If there is unnatural drought, they can postpone their breeding up to two months, from March to May. They often choose temporary ponds with aquatic plant life as their preferred breeding sites, and there is a positive, though weak, correlation between the depth of a pond and a P. punctatus’s preference to breed. They also prefer to lay eggs on aquatic vegetation that is submerged underwater. Area or openness of ponds is much more important to P.
