Unraveling the drivers of amphibian community distribution at a lowland–mountain interface: A joint modeling approach

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Understanding how environmental and biotic processes jointly shape species distributions and community composition is a central goal in ecology. Although species distribution models (SDMs) have become essential tools for quantifying environmental drivers of occurrence, their single‐species framework limits inference about interspecific ...

Sphaerotheca pashchima, a new species of burrowing frog (Anura: Dicroglossidae) from western India

open access: yesJournal of Threatened Taxa, 2017
Sphaerotheca pashchima, a new species of burrowing frog, is described from western India. It can be diagnosed from all its congeners based on a combination of characters including interorbital width less than upper eyelid width, snout to nostril distance

The Catalog of Amphibia and Reptilia Specimens in the Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University Zoology Museum (COMU-ZM)

open access: yesTurkish Journal of Bioscience and Collections, 2017
Humans have begun to make collections with many living and lifeless samples that they have collected from the very nature of the past as a result of day-to-day curiosity. Thanks to these collections, many living creatures are playing an important role in

Paddies' Puzzle: Multi Criteria Decision Aiding (MCDA) Approach for Enhancing Natural and Agrobiodiversity in Italian Rice Farming Districts in Northern Italy

open access: yesJournal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Rice cultivation systems in north‐western Italy in recent decades have experienced a process of natural biodiversity decline, agro‐biodiversity compression and simplification of cultivation practices, reducing the role of paddies as wetland replacement areas.

Demonstration of melatonin in amphibia

open access: yesBiosystems, 1967
The presence of melatonin in the amphibian epiphysis has been ascertained earlier by several indirect methods, demonstrating the synthesizing enzyme or precursors of the compound. This communication describes the presence of melatonin in amphibian brain in a direct way, using dextran gel chromatography as a separation method.

Characterizing Incoming Cocos Plate Structure Outboard of the Guerrero Gap and Adjacent Segments Offshore Mexico: Implications for Along‐Strike Variations in Megathrust Slip Behavior

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Megathrust slip behavior in subduction zones can vary along‐strike, yet the mechanisms driving this variability remain uncertain. The Middle America trench offshore Mexico provides an ideal setting to investigate the structural controls on megathrust slip behavior.

Characterizing the Forearc Basement and Subducting Structures of the Northern Ecuadorian Margin

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract We present 2D P‐wave velocity (Vp) models from the northern Ecuadorian subduction zone, north of the Carnegie Ridge. Data were collected during the HIPER2 3D wide‐angle seismic experiment, both onshore and offshore. Key seismic profiles were manually picked to determine P‐wave first‐arrival times, which were used for a traveltime tomographic ...
