The last species list of the European herpetofauna was published by Speybroeck, Beukema
and Crochet (2010). In the meantime, ongoing research led to numerous taxonomic …

Vocalizations of anuran amphibians have received much attention in studies of behavioral
ecology and physiology, but also provide informative characters for identifying and …

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 …

Acoustic emissions of animals serve communicative purposes and most often contain
species-specific and individual information exploitable to listeners, rendering bioacoustics …

Calling behaviour is strongly temperature‐dependent and critical for sexual selection and
reproduction in a variety of ectothermic taxa, including anuran amphibians, which are the …

Although acoustic signals are important for communication in many taxa, signal propagation
is affected by environmental properties. Strong environmental constraints should drive call …

Several biological research studies have shown that the number of individuals of certain
species of anurans in a specific geographical region, and the evolution of this number over …

While estimates of genetic divergence are increasingly used in molecular taxonomy, hybrid
zone analyses can provide decisive evidence for evaluating candidate species. Applying a …

Frogs and toads have species-specific repertoires of vocalizations that function in contexts
related to reproduction. Although some 6000 anuran species have been described to date …

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