Abstract

Urban biodiversity plays a critical role in shaping effective urban planning and conservation strategies. A key factor in promoting urban biodiversity is the management and evaluation of breeding habitats. In this study, we assessed the local and landscape factors that support breeding habitats for native frog species in Jakarta, Indonesia. We surveyed 25 breeding sites, categorized by varying management intensities. Our results revealed that different frog species exhibit diverse habitat preferences for breeding- some species are capable of utilizing constructed or managed environments, while others depend on more natural or minimally managed habitats. These findings emphasize the need to incorporate multiple criteria when designing strategies to support breeding habitats for all native frog species in Jakarta. We also explored specific factors influencing urban frogs^ selection of breeding sites, providing insights into the drivers of habitat preference in urban environments.
