Current Biology, 2018 Since the dawn of history, amphibians have been a part of human culture. Western Europeans built fires for cooking and warmth, adding large logs as needed. What occasionally emerged was astounding: large black animals (which had found shelter in the logs) with four legs and a tail, jet black with striking bright yellow spots.

Spatial Patterns of Species Diversity of Amphibians in a Nature Reserve in Eastern China
Biology, 2023 Elevational gradients provide an excellent opportunity to assess biodiversity patterns and community structure. Previous studies mainly focus on higher elevations or are limited to small areas in mountainous regions.

The combined effects of temperature and aromatase inhibitor on metamorphosis, growth, locomotion, and sex ratio of tiger frog (Hoplobatrachus rugulosus) tadpoles [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Background The tiger frog (Hoplobatrachus rugulosus) is widely raised by many farms in southern region of China as an economically edible frog. The growth, development, and sexual differentiation of amphibians are influenced by temperature and steroid ...
