Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Male weaponry evolution is often linked to male–male competition, but its relationship with breeding site type remains unclear. Using Leptodactylinae frogs, we found a macroevolutionary correlation between breeding site type and weapon evolution. Also, gains and losses of weapons occurred more frequently in exposed‐breeding sites, an unexpected finding.

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Warning signals are often characterized by highly contrasting, distinctive, and memorable colors. Greater chromatic (hue) and achromatic (brightness) contrast have both been found to contribute to greater signal efficacy, making longwave colored signals (

Urban–Wild Interface Diversity: A Comprehensive Checklist of Herpetofauna of Guayaquil, Ecuador
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Amphibians and reptiles in Guayaquil comprise multiple taxonomic orders and occur across conservation areas, forest remnants, and urban parks, including several endemic species and numerous taxa with type localities in the city. Although most species are globally classified as Least Concern, discrepancies between global and national threat assessments ...

Specialist or generalist? Feeding ecology of the Malagasy poison frog Mantella aurantiaca [PDF]
, 2007 We studied the diet of a population of free-ranging Mantella aurantiaca, an alkaloid-containing poison frog from Madagascar. As in other poison frogs, this species is thought to sequester alkaloids from arthropod prey.

Interspecific visual signalling in animals and plants: a functional classification [PDF]
, 2017 Organisms frequently gain advantages when they engage in signalling with individuals of other species. Here we provide a functionally structured framework of the great variety of interspecific visual signals seen in nature, then describe the different ...

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.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.By analyzing 277 anuran mitochondrial genomes, this study reconstructs a robust phylogeny for frogs and toads, tracing their origins to the Triassic and major radiations to the Cretaceous‐Neogene. The research identifies 58 distinct gene arrangement patterns, providing a novel evolutionary framework.

Hybridization promotes color polymorphism in the aposematic harlequin poison frog, Oophaga histrionica [PDF]
, 2013 Whether hybridization can be a mechanism that drives phenotypic diversity is a widely debated topic in evolutionary biology. In poison frogs (Dendrobatidae), assortative mating has been invoked to explain how new color morphs persist despite the expected

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.
