Bombina variegata is one of the most common species in Romania, being largely spread in the hill and mountains region (Cogãlniceanu et al. 2000). Although, the studies about the trophic spectrum of yellow - bellied toad are rare in the Romanian specialty literature. The only article of this kind refers to a population of Cluj-Napoca region (Sârbu, 1976). Foreign researchers, in Carpatian Mountains obtained data regarding the feeding of the yellow - bellied toad. In the circumstances of the reduced number of studies of trophic spectrum of the populations of Bombina variegata in our country, the objective of our study was to bring new data upon the feeding of yellow belied toad. Thus, we studied the trophic spectrum of a population of Bombina variegata from Vârciorog (Pãdurea Craiului Mountains region), having in focus the knowledge of the taxonomic belonging of the consumed prey, of their amount, of the frequency of capture and the role of these species in the ecosystem in which they live. Our study accentuates the following of the annually variance of the trophic spectrum and was carried on during one whole year.
