The evolution of reproductive modes and life cycles in amphibians
Amphibians have undergone important evolutionary transitions in reproductive modes and
life-cycles. We compare large-scale macroevolutionary patterns in these transitions across …

Biological scaling problems and solutions in amphibians
Size is a primary feature of biological systems that varies at many levels, from the organism
to its constituent cells and subcellular structures. Amphibians populate some of the extremes …

Two‐hundred million years of anuran body‐size evolution in relation to geography, ecology and life history
Surprisingly, little is known about body‐size evolution within the most diverse amphibian
order, anurans (frogs and toads), despite known effects of body size on the physiological …
