A review of chemical defense in harlequin toads (Bufonidae; Atelopus)
Toxicon: X, 2021 Toads of the genus Atelopus are chemically defended by a unique combination of endogenously synthesized cardiotoxins (bufadienolides) and neurotoxins which may be sequestered (guanidinium alkaloids). Investigation into Atelopus small-molecule chemical defenses has been primarily concerned with identifying and characterizing various forms of these ...

Frog tongue surface microstructures: functional and evolutionary patterns
Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2016 Frogs (Lissamphibia: Anura) use adhesive tongues to capture fast moving, elusive prey. For this, the tongues are moved quickly and adhere instantaneously to various prey surfaces.

Antipredatory Strategies of Anurans: An Updated Conceptual Review
Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 9, Page 662-708, September 2026.To unravel the evolutionary dynamics of predator–prey interactions, we propose an updated, three‐tiered classification of anuran antipredatory strategies. By mapping non‐behavioral, individual, and group defenses across five functional phases, this integrative framework introduces the concept of synergetic coupling.

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Conservation under the current global biodiversity crisis demands strategic prioritisation to maximise the impact of limited resources. This study aims to integrate evolutionary history, an often‐overlooked component of biodiversity, alongside extinction risk to identify priority species and regions, assessing both the feasibility and ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.We investigated how seasonal shifts in precipitation and prey availability affect the distribution of arboreal pit vipers (Trimeresurus spp.) in northern Thailand. Trimeresurus were confined to streamside habitats during the dry season but expanded into hillsides during the wet season, mirroring amphibian movements.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.This study presents the first comprehensive analysis of lifespan and age at sexual maturity in seven common anuran species from Hainan Island's tropical rainforest, filling a critical gap in tropical amphibian ecology. The results reveal significant interspecific variation in lifespan (5 ~ 9 years) and maturity age (3 ~ 5 years), indicating a “slow ...
