Make like a glass frog: In support of increased transparency in herpetology

Herpetological Journal, 2020
Across many scientific disciplines, direct replication efforts and meta-analyses have fuelled concerns on the replicability of findings. Ecology and evolution are similarly affected.

Documenting mating behavior in a rare dwarf gecko: first field data on Lygodactylus wetzeli (Smith, Martin & Swain 1977) (Squamata: Gekkonidae)

Natural History Sciences
Reproductive behavior studies are essential for understanding the biology and ecology of species, particularly for poorly known and endemic taxa, as they provide insights into population dynamics, adaptations, and conservation strategies.

Lack of country-wide systematic herpetology collections in Portugal jeopardizes future research and conservation.

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
Natural History Collections (NHCs) represent the world's largest repositories of long-term biodiversity datasets. Specimen collection and voucher deposition has been the backbone of NHCs since their inception, but recent decades have seen a drastic ...

Capacity building needed to reap the benefits of access to biodiversity collections

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Global conservation efforts increasingly depend on digitised natural history collections, yet the benefits of this digital data are not equally shared. We analysed biodiversity specimens and citation data from Montserrat and the Cayman Islands to assess who collected these specimens, how they are used, and by whom.

Replace, reduce, refine: A review of animal use in Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans research

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Animal experimentation is common in wildlife disease research. Understanding the impact of this often‐lethal approach is therefore a critical line of inquiry at the intersection of animal welfare and conservation biology. The discovery of the pathogenic salamander chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) in 2013 ignited a large ...

Next-generation sequencing of mixed genomic DNA allows efficient assembly of rearranged mitochondrial genomes in Amolops chunganensis and Quasipaa boulengeri [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
Recent improvements in next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies can facilitate the obtainment of mitochondrial genomes. However, it is not clear whether NGS could be effectively used to reconstruct the mitogenome with high gene rearrangement.
