Morphological comparison of five species of poison dart frogs of the genus Ranitomeya (Anura: Dendrobatidae) including the skeleton, the muscle system and inner organs. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The morphology of larvae stages of most amphibians are often completely different than in adults. Tadpole descriptions have historically been based on external characters like morphometrics, color pattern and oral disc structure.

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 7, Page 1178-1193, July 2026.This population‐comparative study reveals that male and female parents respond differently to social and ecological conditions. This sex‐specific responsive strategy is related to the incongruent parental care systems across populations in Chinese penduline tits.

Frog tongue surface microstructures: functional and evolutionary patterns
Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2016 Frogs (Lissamphibia: Anura) use adhesive tongues to capture fast moving, elusive prey. For this, the tongues are moved quickly and adhere instantaneously to various prey surfaces.

Relying on known or exploring for new? Movement patterns and reproductive resource use in a tadpole-transporting frog [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Animals relying on uncertain, ephemeral and patchy resources have to regularly update their information about profitable sites. For many tropical amphibians, widespread, scattered breeding pools constitute such fluctuating resources.

The Role of Environmental Factors on Visual Communication in Neotropical Anurans
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Visual signals are a widespread behavioural attribute of communication among vertebrates, often employed during intrasexual competition or mate attraction, ultimately influencing reproductive success. However, the environmental factors driving visual signal evolution remain poorly understood.
