The Evolution of Male Weapons Is Associated with the Type of Breeding Site in a Clade of Neotropical Frogs

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Male weaponry evolution is often linked to male–male competition, but its relationship with breeding site type remains unclear. Using Leptodactylinae frogs, we found a macroevolutionary correlation between breeding site type and weapon evolution. Also, gains and losses of weapons occurred more frequently in exposed‐breeding sites, an unexpected finding.

Assessing the Presence, Pattern, and Environmental Correlates of Seasonal Skin Thickening in Anurans

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Histological sections, like that of the ventral pectoral skin of Lithobates pipiens, were measured to assess variation in skin thickness throughout the year in three North American anuran species. After correcting for individual body size, we test whether skin thickness changes throughout the year and which factors (environment or life history) explain
