Many important questions in ecology and conservation biology require assessment of the
body condition of animals, which is often achieved using mass and length data. However …

Female fecundity is an important selective force leading to female-biased sexual size
dimorphism (SSD) in frogs. Because anurans exhibit diverse reproductive modes, we …

В пособии представлены методы полевых исследований полуводных и наземных
позвоночных животных, методы количественных учётов наземных позвоночных, их …

The operational sex ratio (OSR) is believed to play a major role in determining the
opportunity for sexual selection. Most studies that investigate the effects of OSR on the …

Body size–age relationships may have important implications for the evolution and
maintenance of alternative mating tactics, but these relationships remain largely unexplored …

Two key life history attributes are temporal reproductive patterns and inter-and intraspecific
variation in clutch size. In this work, we collected individuals of Physalaemus gracilis in …

Many species with complex life cycles, such as caudate amphibians, migrate from terrestrial
to aquatic habitats for reproduction. However, movements between reproductive ponds …

In amphibians from tropical or subtropical regions well-expressed growth marks in bone
could be expected because of the existence of strong dry/wet seasons, but little evidence is …

We used five years of recapture data and Bayesian estimation to assess seasonal survival,
movement, and growth of Oregon Spotted Frogs (Rana pretiosa) relocated into created …

Forest buffers are a primary tool used to protect wetland-dependent wildlife. Though
implemented widely, buffer efficacy is untested for most amphibian species. Consequently, it …
