Some 61% of the sample lived as residents = or <20 m from the marking spot. Specimens with the body length <50 mm were the most abundant among all residents; males were more abundant than females among resident adults. Home ranges varied from 2-232 m2 (median 21 m2); higher values were found in females and in specimens of lower size categories. Homing behaviour was ascertained in seasons subsequent to the year of marking in 11 specimens only. Territorial behaviour was not established at all. Stands near to water were markedly preferred; elsewhere, only places with favourable hiding and/or microclimatic conditions were especially occupied.-Author
