Simultaneous Detection of Missing Amphibians and Their Fungal Pathogen in a Biodiversity Hotspot Using eDNA

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 19, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Since the 1970s, striking amphibian declines in population abundances and presumed extinctions have been recorded globally. The chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is one of the key drivers of these declines. To investigate the potential role of Bd in the decline of Brazil's amphibians, we first used eDNA metabarcoding to survey

Amphibians and Reptiles of Ethiopia—Biogeography, Conservation Priority Areas, and Potentials for “One Plan Approach” Conservation Measures 埃塞俄比亚的两栖爬行动物——生物地理学、保育优先区及“一体化方案”保育措施的潜力

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 442-463, September 2025.
In this study, we analyze the conservation status of Ethiopia's amphibian and reptile diversity in terms of coverage with protected areas and global representation in conservation breeding facilities. We identify conservation gaps and suggest priorities for improvement.

Cytogenetics and sperm ultrastructure of Atelopus spumarius (Anura, Bufonidae) from the Brazilian Amazon [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The current taxonomy of most Atelopus species is based on morphological and color data only. Recent studies suggest that A. spumarius may represent a species complex assigned under the same name.

Seasonal Analysis of the Male Reproductive Tract and Germ Cell Proliferation in Leptodactylus podicipinus (Anura)

open access: yesJournal of Morphology, Volume 286, Issue 8, August 2025.
Box 1: Anuran reproductive morphology and dynamics are complex and diverse. Box 2: It is essential to comprehend reproductive morphology in a broad sense and simultaneously at different organizational levels. Box 3: The study characterizes the components of the male reproductive tract and assess testicular cell proliferation throughout the reproductive

Opposite effects of climate and land‐use/cover change on Mediterranean herpetofauna: Insights from the southern Apennines

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 501-514, August 2025.
Climate change (CC) and land‐use/cover change (LUCC) are threatening species worldwide, with amphibians and reptiles being particularly vulnerable. In Cilento, a highly biodiverse Mediterranean area in the southern Appenine protected by a National Park and 30 Natura 2000 Network sites, 11 amphibians and 16 reptiles could disappear in the future ...
