Review of morphometric measurements used in anuran species descriptions and recommendations for a standardized approach
JL Watters, ST Cummings, RL Flanagan, CD Siler - Zootaxa, 2016 - biotaxa.org
Standardization and repeatability is at the heart of all scientific research, yet very little
literature exists to standardize morphometric measurements within vertebrate groups. This is …

Evolutionary history of the Asian Horned Frogs (Megophryinae): integrative approaches to timetree dating in the absence of a fossil record
Molecular dating studies typically need fossils to calibrate the analyses. Unfortunately, the
fossil record is extremely poor or presently nonexistent for many species groups, rendering …
