Identifying hotspots of faunal data deficiency to direct urgent research and monitoring

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Data deficiency is a substantial challenge for extinction risk assessments because incomplete data means we cannot accurately identify priority protected areas for conservation. Here, we use the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) distributions of amphibians, sharks and rays, fish, mammals, birds, and reptiles to identify ...

ROBOT SALAMANDRA ANFIBIO CON LOCOMOCIÓN BIOINSPIRADA

Ingenius, 2016
<p>En este artículo se presenta el desarrollo de un robot anfibio con una dinámica de movimiento bioinspirada en la locomoción de la salamandra (Cryptobranchidae). El robot es teleoperado mediante una aplicación para dispositivos móviles (Smartphones, tablets, etc.).

Subspecies taxonomy reflects social and geographic patterns of taxonomic effort in tetrapods

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Subspecies have been used in conservation biology to account for intraspecific patterns in genetic diversity, which is crucial to long‐term population viability. Although over 3200 subspecies are currently assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List, their biological relevance remains controversial.

Melanism in salamanders: effects of insularity, sex and size on dorsal colouration in Salamandra salamandra

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
In this study we tested the effects of insularity on amphibian colouration using the fire salamander as a model system. Although increased melanism was not a consistent pattern across all islands, salamanders from one island exhibited higher proportions of black pigmentation than mainland populations, while insular populations overall showed reduced ...

Environmental detection of the amphibian chytrid fungus in water bodies is associated with host infection along a deforestation gradient

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Linking environmental pathogen detection with host infection patterns can improve surveillance of diseases involving environmental transmission, particularly where direct host sampling is logistically challenging. This approach enables the identification of areas of elevated transmission risk and supports targeted monitoring and management under ...

How vulnerable are amphibians to climate change? A mechanistic perspective

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1550-1560, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Amphibians are frequently identified as highly vulnerable to climate change, yet the mechanisms driving this sensitivity remain uncertain. Approaches that explicitly link physiological mechanisms to environmental variation provide powerful tools for forecasting climate ...

Diversidad de anfibios

, 2021
La distribución de la an biofauna santafesina (ranas, sapos, escuerzos y cecilias) sigue un patrón latitudinal, con una disminución de la riqueza de especies hacia el sur y una penetración de muchos taxones por medio del corredor biológico que representa el río Paraná y sus humedales (Ghirardi y López, 2017).

Evaluating the empirical basis for threat attribution in the IUCN Red List

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Understanding the impacts of different threats on species is key to successful conservation interventions and policies. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) assesses threats to species, and the organization's Red List of Threatened Species is a key conservation tool.
