Egg clutch dehydration induces early hatching in red-eyed treefrogs, Agalychnis callidryas [PDF]
Terrestrial eggs have evolved repeatedly in tropical anurans exposing embryos to the new threat of dehydration. Red-eyed treefrogs, Agalychnis callidryas, lay eggs on plants over water.

Comparative analysis of amphibian genomes: An emerging resource for basic and applied research. [PDF]
Abstract Amphibians are the most threatened group of vertebrates and are in dire need of conservation intervention to ensure their continued survival. They exhibit unique features including a high diversity of reproductive strategies, permeable and specialized skin capable of producing toxins and antimicrobial compounds, multiple genetic mechanisms of ...

Climate and mating systems as drivers of global diversity of parental care in frogs
Abstract Aim Amphibians exhibit unusually diverse reproductive modes, including a wide array of parental care strategies. The evolutionary drivers of this diversity, however, remain unclear. Here, we investigate three major factors that might predict interspecific variation in parental care strategies: climate, intrasexual selection and social ...

Allometric escape from acoustic constraints is rare for frog calls
Allometric constraints in frogs are highly conserved and have rarely promoted allometric escape despite frequent invasions of new adaptive regimes of sound frequency and dramatic ecomorphological divergence in body size and calling site. In this study, we highlight instances in which natural and sexual selection combined could overcome physical ...
