American bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) invasion in California
, 2020 Invasive species have far-reaching ecological and economic impacts. The American bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) has spread globally through anthropogenic activity and has been named one of the world's worst invasive species. Bullfrogs have especially impacted native amphibians in California through predation, competition, and disease. Bullfrogs are

Many roads to reservoirs? How susceptibility and shedding shape host competence in amphibians
Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 585-598, March 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Host competence—the ability to acquire, harbour and transmit infections—drives pathogen spread and persistence in multi‐host communities. Evaluating species‐specific competence is critical for predicting transmission, particularly for generalist fungal pathogens like ...

Aquatic Biodiversity of the Pampa Biome: Insights From a Scientometric and Systematic Perspective
Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT The Pampa biome, in South America, covers parts of Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina. Its main characteristic is the predominance of grassland areas. The Pampa biome supports high biological diversity and a wide variety of ecosystems. In this study, we provide a comprehensive overview of biodiversity studies focusing on freshwater ecosystems of ...

Frog‐biting midges and mosquitoes: Comparative insights from the Oriental and Sino‐Japanese regions
Entomological Science, Volume 29, Issue 1, March 2026.This review synthetizes current knowledge of frog‐biting mosquitoes and midges in the Oriental region and Japan, revealing strong geographic biases in research despite shared amphibian lineages. We highlight key knowledge gaps to guide future studies. Abstract Frog‐biting mosquitoes (Culicidae) and midges (Corethrellidae) are old hematophagous lineages
