- •
Morphology of male common toads (Bufo bufo) from three contrasting landscapes (forest, traditional and intensive farmland) has been compared.
- •
Open habitats positively influence body size and condition of common toads.
- •
Toads from intensive farmland are less symmetrical, suggesting environmental stress during larval and/or post-metamorphic development.
- •
Landscape-specific traits can influence the morphology of male toads in complex ways.
