Journal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 4, April 2026.There is a need for robust criteria that can consistently identify sex and life stage, which should be applicable within populations over time, between populations of the same species, and, if possible, across species within major groups. In this study, we use a multi‐season data set to define adulthood for male and female anurans using externally ...

Cane toads lack physiological enhancements for dispersal at the invasive front in Northern Australia
Biology Open, 2011 Summary Many invasive species have evolved behavioural and morphological characteristics that facilitate their dispersal into new areas, but it is unclear how selection on this level of the phenotype filters through to the underlying physiology.

Clashing in Murky Waters: On Amphibian Mosquito Suppression
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.This study compares the predator efficiency of common European amphibian species to common invertebrate mosquito predators. Focusing on the cosmopolitan mosquito Culex pipiens, known for transmitting pathogens like West Nile virus, we assessed predator rates, sex‐specific efficiency in amphibians, and the impact of predator presence on mosquito ...

Phenotypic and Ecological Correlates of Population Decline in the World's Anurans
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.In this study, we assess the ecological and environmental factors associated with population decline in the world's anurans, taking into account their evolutionary relationships. A large majority of evaluated species were in decline. Range size and temperature annual range were negatively correlated with decline, whereas latitude was positively ...

Field trials of chemical suppression of embryonic cane toads (Rhinella marina) by older conspecifics
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Laboratory experiments have shown that the viability of embryos of the invasive cane toad (Rhinella marina) can be reduced by exposure to chemical cues from older conspecific larvae.
