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),

Can the Morphological Variation of Amazonian Bufonidae (Amphibia, Anura) Be Predicted by Their Habits and Habitats?

open access: yesJournal of Zoological and Botanical Gardens
The species of the Bufonidae family exhibit a great diversity of habitats, diurnal or nocturnal habits, a complex evolutionary history, and a wide distribution, which makes this group suitable for morphological studies. In this work, we aimed to identify

The complete mitochondrial genome of Bufotes zamdaensis (Anura: Bufonidae) [PDF]

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA Part B, 2019
The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Bufotes zamdaensis was reported in the present research by shotgun sequencing. The total length of mitogenome is 17,189 bp, and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two ribosome RNA genes, and one D-loop region.

Effects of Predator Species and Size on Prey Escape Success Through the Digestive Tract

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
Adults of the aquatic beetle Regimbartia attenuata can survive passage through the digestive tracts of six predator (frog) species, including a non‐native bullfrog. Their active movement through the gut likely facilitates their escape through the cloaca, irrespective of predator species or size.

Morphological differentiation of the common toad Bufo bufo (Linnaeus, 1758) in the central part of the Balkan Peninsula [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Biological Sciences, 2013
This study analyzes the degree of morphological differentiation among populations of the common toad Bufo bufo in the central part of the Balkan Peninsula. Variations in a number of morphometric and qualitative characters in 14 population samples were

Rheotactic Responses in Bufo bufo Tadpoles—Insights Into Adaptation to Lotic Environment

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
Current flow is an important stimulus to which tadpoles may react differently. We assessed behaviour and orientation of common toad tadpoles in their natural habitat, in relation to water current. Tadpoles exhibited random orientation in still water and orientation against current in flowing water, suggesting adaptive behaviour to changing habitat ...

Similar population dynamics before and after a chytridiomycosis outbreak in a tropical riparian amphibian species

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Emerging infectious diseases can cause rapid, widespread host mortality, and the lack of demographic data before and after pathogen emergence complicates understanding mechanisms of host persistence. This challenge is further compounded by environmental conditions that influence host behavior, while driving pathogen growth and virulence. These
