The Role of Environmental Factors on Visual Communication in Neotropical Anurans

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Visual signals are a widespread behavioural attribute of communication among vertebrates, often employed during intrasexual competition or mate attraction, ultimately influencing reproductive success. However, the environmental factors driving visual signal evolution remain poorly understood.

Implication of Cytoplasmic Factors in the Lethality of Bufonidae Nucleocytoplasmic Hybrids [PDF]

open access: yesDevelopment, Growth & Differentiation, 1984
The nucleocytoplasmic hybrid combination performed by nuclear graft between B. bufo nucleus and B. calamita egg is 95% lethal during gastrulation mostly at the young gastrula stage (75%) and to a lesser extent at the yolk plug stage (20%). The heterologous B. calamita cytoplasm was treated or fractioned by different techniques including centrifugation,

Evaluating the Use of Environmental DNA as a Method to Determine Occupancy and Distribution of Coeur d'Alene Salamanders in Montana

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
The purpose of this project was to evaluate the efficacy of eDNA sampling to determine occupancy of Coeur d'Alene salamanders, an “imperiled” species in Montana. Previous methods used to identify occupied sites were haphazard with no measure of detection probability. Due to the unique habitat used by these salamanders (seeps and waterfall spray zones),
