Drivers of amphibian species richness in European ponds

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2025, Issue 5, May 2025.
Amphibians are commonly occurring inhabitants of most lentic freshwater ecosystems, yet their global populations are in alarming decline. Ponds in particular play a crucial role in supporting amphibian biodiversity. In this study, we identified the main drivers influencing amphibian species richness by conducting a comprehensive ecological ...

Genomic, Phenotypic and Environmental Correlates of Speciation in the Midwife Toads (Alytes)

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 8, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Speciation, i.e., the formation of new species, implies that diverging populations evolve genetic, phenotypic or ecological factors that promote reproductive isolation (RI), but the relative contributions of these factors remain elusive. Here we test which of genomic, bioacoustic, morphological, and environmental differences best predicts RI ...

A test of the Grant–Stebbins pollinator‐shift model of floral evolution

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 245, Issue 5, Page 2322-2335, March 2025.
Summary Pollinators are thought to play a key role in driving incipient speciation within the angiosperms. However, the mechanisms underlying floral divergence in plants with generalist pollination systems, remains understudied. Brunsvigia gregaria displays significant geographical variation in floral traits and are visited by diverse pollinator ...

Not so cryptic–differences between mating calls of Hyla arborea and Hyla orientalis from Bulgaria [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ
Anurans are among the most vocally active vertebrate animals and emit calls with different functions. In order to attract a mate, during the breeding season male frogs produce mating calls which have species-specific structure and parameters, and have ...
