Abstract

During Covid -19 nationwide lockdown we have studied the foam nest formation and reproductive behaviour of Chirixalus simus Annandale, 1915in West Bengal, India.Temperature and humidity are two key factors regulating nest formation. Few plants are preferred over others for nest formation during early monsoon.
