Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.We investigated how seasonal shifts in precipitation and prey availability affect the distribution of arboreal pit vipers (Trimeresurus spp.) in northern Thailand. Trimeresurus were confined to streamside habitats during the dry season but expanded into hillsides during the wet season, mirroring amphibian movements.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.This study presents the first comprehensive analysis of lifespan and age at sexual maturity in seven common anuran species from Hainan Island's tropical rainforest, filling a critical gap in tropical amphibian ecology. The results reveal significant interspecific variation in lifespan (5 ~ 9 years) and maturity age (3 ~ 5 years), indicating a “slow ...

Dietary assessment of five species of anuran tadpoles from northern Odisha, India
Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2018 Anuran tadpoles are gregarious predators capable of differentiating food items among diverse types of prey via varied feeding and oral structures. Tadpoles were collected from different study sites in three districts of northern Odisha during three ...

Skin Resistance to Dehydration: A Theory‐Informed Trait Gradient in Anurans
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Anurans' sensitivity to hydric stress has driven adaptive changes in multiple traits, potentially displaying geographical clines, as is the case with body size. A longstanding body of research suggests that skin resistance to water loss may also vary geographically in response to water loss.

A new species of Euphlyctis (Anura: Dicroglossidae) from Barisal, Bangladesh.
PLoS ONE, 2015 A new species of the genus Euphlyctis is described from the Barisal district of Bangladesh and compared with its morphologically similar and geographically proximate congeners. The new species is highly divergent in comparison to other congeneric species
