Parental investment by skin feeding in a caecilian amphibian [PDF]

, 2006
Although the initial growth and development of most multicellular animals depends on the provision of yolk, there are many varied contrivances by which animals provide additional or alternative investment in their offspring(1).

Review of the tetrapod skull–neck boundary: implications for the evolution of the atlas–axis complex

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2435-2470, December 2025.
ABSTRACT This review describes variation in modern and fossil occiput–atlas–axis complex anatomy of total group Tetrapoda with the aim of documenting the range of structural variation throughout their evolutionary history to establish grounds for comparison of the complex between tetrapod clades.

Disentangling the interrelations of body mass, egg deposition site, climate and microhabitat use in frogs and salamanders

Ecography, Volume 2025, Issue 11, November 2025.
Amphibians exhibit a large diversity in reproductive and developmental strategies, which in turn are linked to their body size, life history and habitat. Here, we explore why terrestrial egg laying frogs are on average smaller than aquatic egg laying ones and whether this pattern also exists in salamanders.

Persistence of sub‐clinical infections caused by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in stream anurans in South Asia

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Chytridiomycosis is caused by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) and contributes significantly to amphibian declines globally. It has affected more than 500 amphibian species on five continents. In South Asia, the Western Ghats is an amphibian biodiversity hotspot; however, the population status of anurans and their burden of chytridiomycosis

The Dry‐Climate Hypothesis: Identifying the Environmental Drivers of Terrestrial Viviparous Salamanders

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim The evolution of adaptive innovations carries strong eco‐evolutionary implications, allowing organisms to explore novel ecological opportunities, which facilitates lineage diversification. The remarkable diversity of reproductive strategies in amphibians provides a natural laboratory for identifying ecological mechanisms driving ...

Taxonomic status and phylogenetic relationships of Boulengerula denhardtiNieden, 1912 (Amphibia, Gymnophiona, Caeciliidae)

Zoosystematics and Evolution, 2008
The Kenyan caeciliid caecilian Boulengerula denhardtiNieden 1912 was considered to be a junior synonym of Schistometopum (Dermophis) gregorii (Boulenger, 1894) by Loveridge (1936). This synonymy has been accepted, implicitly or explicitly, by all subsequent workers. Re-examination of the holotype and only known specimen of B. denhardti confirmed Nieden'
