Amphibians are a clade of over 8,400 species that provide unique research opportunities
and challenges. With amphibians undergoing severe global declines, we posit that …

The advent of genomic methods allows us to revisit the evolutionary history of organismal
groups for which robust phylogenies are still lacking, particularly in species complexes that …

Anurans are known to detect vibrations, but few studies explore relationships between
vibrations and resultant behaviors. We studied the reaction of calling captive-bred male …

Because host species tend to harbor multiple parasitic species, coinfection in a host is
common. The chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) and the viruses in the …

The number of epizootics in amphibian populations caused by viruses of the genus
Ranavirus is increasing worldwide. Yet, causes for pathogen emergence are poorly …

Although necessary to promote conservation, defining evolutionary units and naming
biodiversity remain a difficult task, especially in problematic species groups that experienced …

A common assumption is that pathogens more readily destabilize their host populations,
leading to an elevated risk of driving both the host and pathogen to extinction. This logic …

Calotriton arnoldi is an endemic amphibian inhabiting Montseny Natural Park and
Biosphere Reserve (PNRBM), listed as “critically endangered (CR)” by IUCN. At the end of …

Amphibians are an ancient, diverse lineage of vertebrates that have been studied in
research fields from evolution and ecology to engineering and medicine. Although …
