Abstract

The breeding and translocation programme for the midwife toad is part of the Species Protection Programme. Based on genetic results, we have divided animals collected in Flanders since 2019 into different breeding groups. The offspring were used for translocations from 2021 onwards.
A total of 15,618 midwife toads have been released at eleven locations. In addition, we developed a single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) genetic panel. This panel is tailored to previously studied populations and has been tested on a limited scale in three populations that have not previously been genetically analysed, and in two populations for which translocations have taken place. The methodology has proven to be effective and will enable thorough monitoring of both previously studied populations and new populations that have not yet been analysed.
