Bilateral Diaphyseal Chondrodysplasia and Polymorphic Osteodysplasia of the Tibiofibulas in a Southern Leopard Frog, Lithobates sphenocephalus (Amphibia: Anura: Ranidae) [PDF]
, 2019 Much attention has been focused on limb malformations in anurans following the startling discovery of major limb deformities in Northern Leopard Frogs (Rana pipiens) in Minnesota in 1995. The numerous causes for these malformations can be attributed to a

Hide and Seek: Species Detectability in a Biodiversity Hotspot Increased by Environmental DNA
Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 4, July–August 2025.We demonstrated through Bayesian modeling that eDNA metabarcoding offers equivalent or higher detectability than traditional field inventory techniques for anuran species in a biodiversity hotspot. The number of recorded species was also higher in seven out of ten sampled streams.

An experimental test of the importance of isolated trees for frog diversity in tropical landscapes
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 7, Page 1449-1460, July 2025.We performed the first experimental test of the importance of isolated trees for biodiversity. Our results provide evidence that isolated trees contribute to increasing total species richness and community abundance of anurans in artificial ponds, making local communities more similar to those found in ponds near forest edges.

Caldasia, 1976 A brief abridgement of the taxonomic history of the "Atelopodidae" is presented, and it is concluded that this group must be included in the Bufonidae, confirming the criteria of recent authors.

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2017 To know the situation of road hits of amphibians and reptile species, a survey was conducted during the period 02 June 2013 to 25 May 2014. A total of 172 incidents of road kill of different species were noticed, representing 12 species of herpetofauna,

Cutaneous shedding in amphibians causes shifts in bacterial microbiomes
Integrative Zoology, Volume 20, Issue 4, Page 807-816, July 2025.Trends of bacterial load and diversity on cane toad skin suggest that regular shedding events reduce bacterial abundance, consequently also reducing richness and causing a shift in community structure. After reductions due to shedding, bacteria regrow and recolonize until the next shed days later, suggesting that skin communities are constantly in flux,

Adaptaçoes, especializaçoes e linhagens nos anuros neotropicais
Acta Zoológica Lilloana, 2022 La taxonomía actual de Amphibia Anura es conservadora y casi exclusivamente morfológica. Las familias reconocidas son pocas y se basan en un pequeño número de caracteres osteológicos.

Generation length of the world's amphibians and reptiles
Ecography, Volume 2025, Issue 7, July 2025.Variation in life histories influences demographic processes, from adaptive changes to population declines leading to extinction. Among life history traits, generation length offers a critical feature to forecast species' demographic trajectories such as population declines (widely used by the IUCN Red List) and adaptability to environmental change ...
