摘　　要：The response to hiding places of metamorphosed newts (Triturus vittatus vittatus) affected by light and moisture was studied under experimental conditions. No significant differences (X2-test;P > 0.05) were found in the choice of hiding places covered with black or transparent paper as the control of the experimental methods. The selection of hiding places by the newts is significant regarding soil moisture and negative phototoxicity. Significant differences (X2-test;P T. v. vittatus chose moist soil in hiding places covered by black or transparent paper in all the various combinations, and the difference was significant (X2-test;P < 0.001).The response to hiding places of metamorphosed newts (Triturus vittatus vittatus) affected by light and moisture was studied under experimental conditions.
