Hybridisation as a Potential Extinction Threat to an Endangered Australian Frog. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe used single nucleotide polymorphism data and morphological assessment to investigate hybridisation and introgression between two Australian frog species not previously reported to hybridise, the endangered Booroolong frog (Litoria booroolongensis) and its abundant congener, the eastern stony creek frog (Litoria wilcoxii).

Consumptive and nonconsumptive effects of omnivorous tadpoles on aquatic invertebrate communities
Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Consumptive effects (CEs) of predation have been well‐studied in most aquatic systems, but nonconsumptive effects (NCEs) on prey have only recently received limited attention. As aquatic consumers, tadpoles have traditionally been considered strict herbivores, leaving their predatory impacts via CEs and NCEs largely unexplored.

Environmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 85-101, January 2023., 2023 Vernal pools are temporary wetlands that can form during a rainy season, often in Mediterranean climates, and serve as ideal testing grounds to understand species detection using eDNA and how biological communities may shift across time and spatial and environmental heterogeneity.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 9, September 2022., 2022 Modeling of edaphic soil conditions can reveal small habitat patches that may host unique biodiversity. Our modeling of deep, sandy soils in New York State revealed abundant soils that may host pine barren and sandplain ecosystems, and the numerous rare and threatened species they host.

Pest Management Science, Volume 78, Issue 7, Page 2729-2745, July 2022., 2022 The risks of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus nuisance and vector‐borne diseases are rising and their ranges are expanding. The studies identified by this extensive review come together to suggest little potential risk of adverse impact of suppressing or eliminating invasive Aedes spp. on their predators and food webs.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 2, February 2022., 2022 Frogs and toads are highly visual animals, but the diversity, function, and evolution of their visual systems are understudied compared to other vertebrates. We used field collected samples and existing genomic resources to investigate the molecular evolution and diversity of visual opsin genes across frogs and toads.

Journal of Helminthology, 2011 AbstractPolystoma nacialtuneli n. sp. is described from the urinary bladder of the eastern spadefoot, Pelobates syriacus from Turkey. This is the fifth polystome species known from Turkey and the third species in Pelobates. We show that this new parasite species can be distinguished from other polystome species in the area by a combination of ...

AMPHIBIAN DISTRIBUTION IN THE GEORGIA SEA ISLANDS: IMPLICATIONS FROM THE PAST AND FOR THE FUTURE [PDF]
, 2020 We summarized amphibian distributions for 12 coastal islands in Georgia, USA. Occurrence among islands was correlated with life history traits, habitats, island size, distance to other islands, and island geological age.

Recent shrinkage of the range of the Eastern Spadefoot Toad,Pelobates syriacus(Amphibia: Anura): archaeological evidence from the Bronze Age in Israel [PDF]
Zoology in the Middle East, 2007 The analysis of the remains collected in the Ara Burial Cave in Lower Galilee, Israel (Late Bronze Age II, c. 1300-1200 BCE), permitted the identification of 725 anuran remains be- longing mostly to Bufo viridis but also to Pelobates cf. syriacus. The origin of the anuran assem- blage in Ara cave appears to be intrusive, probably related to the need to
