Остромордая лягушка (Rana arvalis Nilsson, 1842) представляет интерес как вид, демонстрирующий высокую пластичность в условиях антропогенной трансформации среды. Проведено сравнительное исследование возрастной структуры, размеров тела и плодовитости остромордой лягушки в четырех популяциях Москвы, представляющих разные типы местообитаний: Тимирязевский и Ульяновский лесопарки, а также территории малоэтажной застройки (х. Брёхово и д. Кузнецово). Полевые исследования проводились в апреле-мае 2021-2024 гг. Для особей, отловленных в амплексусе, определяли длину тела, методом скелетохронологии устанавливали возраст и производили подсчет яиц для оценки плодовитости. Статистический анализ выполнялся с использованием непараметрических критериев (Краскела-Уоллиса и Манна-Уитни). Выявлены различия между популяциями. У самцов обнаружены различия по длине тела (H = 10,32; p = 0,016) и возрасту (H = 12,53; p = 0,006), у самок – по плодовитости (H = 16,04; p = 0,001). Наибольшие размеры и возраст самцов, а также максимальная плодовитость самок зарегистрированы в Тимирязевском лесопарке, что достоверно превышало показатели в зонах малоэтажной застройки. Крупные лесопарки создают наиболее благоприятные условия для долговременного существования популяций, обеспечивая высокую выживаемость и репродуктивный успех. Снижение изученных показателей в зонах малоэтажной застройки указывает на негативное влияние антропогенного пресса

The Moor Frog (Rana arvalis Nilsson, 1842) is of interest as a species exhibiting high plasticity in anthropogenically transformed environments. A comparative study was conducted on the age structure, body size, and fecundity of the Moor Frog in four Moscow populations representing different habitat types: Timiryazevsky Park and Ulyanovsky Lesopark, as well as low-rise residential areas (Brekhovo hamlet and Kuznetsovo village). Field research was carried out in April-May from 2021 to 2024. For individuals captured in amplexus, body length was measured, age was determined using skeletochronology, and eggs were counted to estimatу fecundity. Statistical analysis was performed using non-parametric tests (Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney). Significant differences were found between populations. Among males, differences were observed in body length (H = 10.32; p = 0.016) and age (H = 12.53; p = 0.006), while females differed in fecundity (H = 16.04; p = 0.001). The largest size and age of males, as well as the highest fecundity of females, were recorded in Timiryazevsky Park, which significantly exceeded values in low-rise residential areas. Large forest parks provide the most favorable conditions for the long-term persistence of moor frog populations, ensuring high survival rates and reproductive success. The decline in the studied parameters in low-rise residential areas indicates a negative impact from anthropogenic pressure
