Amphibian populations are vanishing worldwide. Declines and extinctions of many
populations have been attributed to chytridiomycosis, a disease induced by the pathogenic …

Abstract The Cameroon Volcanic Line, a mountain chain located between West and Central
Africa, is a region of numerous endemic diversifications, including of puddle frogs …

Amphibians are a disproportionately threatened group of vertebrates, the status of which in
Sub-Saharan Africa is still uncertain, with heterogeneous fauna punctuated by mountains …

The rice field frog Hoplobatrachus rugulosus is widely distributed throughout the wetlands of
Thailand. It is economically important and a potential experimental subject in many fields of …

In the tadpoles of some anuran species, there is a set of one or more anterior labial tooth
rows that are divided by the upper jaw sheath, which we call paraoral tooth rows. We studied …

The tadpoles of more than half of the African tree frog species, genus Leptopelis, are
unknown. We provide morphological descriptions of tadpoles of eight species from Central …
