Hello everyone.
With this thread I would like to expose an incident, of so far unknown origins, which took place (and might be ongoing) in a specific region and has apparently culled the population of the adult species in question. I initially contacted European individuals in attempting to obtain some help on what was causing not just so many deaths, but deaths in a strange fashion - to amphibian enthusiast or not.
The little information that I sent turned out to provide little context, and, without this, some speculation was working on unlikely situations and wrong assumptions. In a attempt to remedy this, I produced a small report going over the necessary details I imagined are needed for someone attempting to think of the problem from a distance.
There is ongoing discussion (in Italian) at Forum Natura Mediterraneo, on this thread, which has been reacting to the content in the document provided here. I hope that here the same can take place in English.
In creating this thread, I am starting a discussion for those who can point out the reasons for this mortality, so that I won't actively participate unless specific questions need to be addressed regarding my experience with the event.
That said, the pdf document exposing the situation can be downloaded here, through Google Drive. I have assumed it pedantic to repeat any of its content in this thread.
Thank you.
