How hibernation in frogs drives brain and reproductive evolution in opposite directions

eLife, 2023
Environmental seasonality can promote the evolution of larger brains through cognitive and behavioral flexibility but can also hamper it when temporary food shortage is buffered by stored energy.

Geographical Patterns of Functional Diversity of South American Anurans

, 2019
A critical step in designing efficient spatial prioritization plans is to find the best network of sites that preserve multiple biodiversity facets. Conservation biogeography has increasingly been using functional diversity (FD) as an alternative metric ...

Opportunistic habitat use: widespread and non-threatened anurans in Brazilian caves [PDF]

Neotropical Biology and Conservation
Anurans are highly sensitive vertebrates whose ecological distribution is strongly shaped by environmental conditions, particularly moisture availability and habitat stability.

Patterns of Species Richness, Range Size, and Their Environmental Correlates for South American Anurans

, 2019
Species richness and range size gradients have been correlated with environmental conditions at broad spatial scales, yet these effects are commonly context-dependent for different geographical regions.

Cloning, characterization, and evolutionary patterns of KCNQ4 genes in anurans

Ecology and Evolution
Acoustic communication plays important roles in the survival and reproduction of anurans. The perception and discrimination of conspecific sound signals of anurans were always affected by masking background noise.

South American Anurans: Species Diversity and Description Trends Through Time and Space

, 2019
Amphibians are especially diverse in the Neotropics and have also one of the highest rates of new species description among terrestrial vertebrates. The first systematic synthesis of South American anurans compiled a list of 1644 species, but there have ...

Biodiversity Monitoring of a Riparian Wetland in a Mixed-Use Watershed in the Central Appalachians, USA, before Restoration

Diversity, 2022
Wetland mitigation efforts have increased in numbers over the past two decades to combat wetland loss in the United States. Data regarding wetland function such as biodiversity are required to be collected 5–10 years after a project is complete; however,

Learning Highly Dynamic Skills Transition for Quadruped Jumping Through Constrained Space

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A quadruped robot masters dynamic jumps through constrained spaces with animal‐inspired moves and intelligent vision control. This hierarchical learning approach combines imitation of biological agility with real‐time trajectory planning. Although legged animals are capable of performing explosive motions while traversing confined spaces, replicating ...
