New localities, range extension, natural history, and conservation status of Nymphargus mixomaculatus (Guayasamin, Lehr, Rodriguez & Aguilar, 2006) [PDF]
We provide information on the distribution, natural history, and conservation status of Nymphargus mixomaculatus (Guayasamin, Lehr, Rodriguez & Aguilar, 2006), a species from central Peru which is currently considered as Critically Endangered. We

Salt in the Wound: Assessing Pathogen Susceptibility in Amphibian Populations Across a Gradient of Salt Pollution. [PDF]
The survival function of nine larval wood frog populations and their viral loads when exposed to FV3. The populations were collected as eggs from a range of salt‐polluted ponds. Viral load data are means ±1 SE. The populations are ordered in terms of the saltiness of their natal ponds.

Frog tongue acts as muscle-powered adhesive tape [PDF]
Frogs are well known to capture fast-moving prey by flicking their sticky tongues out of the mouth. This tongue projection behaviour happens extremely fast which makes frog tongues a biological high-speed adhesive system.

Influence of open and closed windows on the vertical spread characteristics of fire
In order to systematically explain the spreading mechanism of vertical fire, Pyrosim software with fire dynamic modules is used to simulate the fire spreading characteristics in a five-storey residential apartment building.
