Annual climatic fluctuations and short-term genetic variation in the eastern spadefoot toad [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 In addition to variations on the spatial scale, short- and long-term temporal variations, too, can impose intense selection on the overall genetic diversity and composition of a population.

Long‐term monitoring of common spadefoot toad activity in a European steppe using barn owl pellets [PDF]
Journal of Biological Research - Thessaloniki, 2021 Background One third of the worldwide amphibian species are threatened, therefore, efficient monitoring efforts are needed. Amphibians which adopt a hidden lifestyle, such as the common spadefoot toad, are often missed with standard surveying efforts ...

The eastern boundary of the geographic range of the Pallas’ spadefoot Pelobates vespertinus (Anura, Amphibia) is limited by overwintering temperatures [PDF]
Herpetozoa, 2020 We studied the relationship between the geographic distribution of the Pallas’ spadefoot (Pelobates vespertinus) and the soil temperature regime at the eastern boundary of this species’ range (south-western West Siberia and northwest Kazakhstan).

The effect of habitat and climatic on microsatellite diversity and allele length variation
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Microsatellite loci have been shown to vary according to environment. We studied allelic length variation and diversity in eight microsatellite loci along a sharp climatic and habitat gradient in Israel, using the eastern spadefoot toad (Pelobates ...

Call a spade a spade: taxonomy and distribution of Pelobates, with description of a new Balkan endemic [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2019 The genomic era contributes to update the taxonomy of many debated terrestrial vertebrates. In an accompanying work, we provided a comprehensive molecular assessment of spadefoot toads (Pelobates) using genomic data.

SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL ECOLOGY OF EASTERN SPADEFOOT TOADS ON A FLORIDA LANDSCAPE [PDF]
Herpetologica, 2005 Effective amphibian conservation must consider population and landscape processes, but information at multiple scales is rare. We explore spatial and temporal patterns of breeding and recruitment by eastern spadefoot toads (Scaphiopus holbrookii), using nine years of data from continuous monitoring with drift fences and pitfall traps at eight ephemeral
