Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Amphibians are facing large population declines as a result of both natural and anthropogenic threats. Reconstructing and understanding the composition and structure of amphibian communities is essential for developing effective monitoring and conservation strategies.

Effects of prescribed fire on Cope’s Gray Treefrog (Hyla chrysoscelis) across habitat scales and life stages [PDF]
, 2017 Fire may alter both aquatic and terrestrial habitat used by all amphibian life stages, yet, our knowledge of its effects on amphibians is primarily limited to adult responses. I present an integrated approach to test the response of Cope’s Gray Treefrog (

Activity Level-Predation Risk Tradeoff in a Tadpole Guild: Implications for Community Organization Along the Hydroperiod Gradient [PDF]
, 2020 Increasing activity levels permit greater food intake for use towards growth and reproduction, consequently increasing predation risk via increased detection.

Costs of colour change in fish: food intake and behavioural decisions [PDF]
, 2013 Many animals, particularly reptiles, amphibians, fish and cephalopods, have the ability to change their body colour, for functions including thermoregulation, signalling and predator avoidance.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.Animals that live in a wide range of environments possess plastic traits such as colour change, but most research has only looked at this within single populations. In this study, we tested four populations of the Arabian killifish from marine and freshwater ecosystems, examining how well they change colour against different backgrounds.

THE ART OF WAR: PATTERNS AND MECHANISMS UNDERLYING PREDATOR-INDUCED PLASTICITY OF AMPHIBIANS [PDF]
, 2013 Organisms often employ phenotypic plasticity as a strategy to cope with variable environments. This is particularly true of predation threats, wherein prey induce defenses to reduce detection or capture by predators.

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.Using 16 years of community science data from Taiwan, this study found that habitat specialists and species overlapping ecologically with the invasive frog Polypedates megacephalus declined more than generalists. While declines were higher at sites with P.

Virulence factors in environmental and clinical Vibrio cholerae from endemic areas in Kenya
African Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 2014 Background: Since 1971, Kenya has had repeated cholera outbreaks. However, the cause of seasonal epidemics of cholera is not fully understood and neither are the factors that drive epidemics, both in Kenya and globally.

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Many amphibians are experiencing declines, which are exacerbated for populations near range edges. To inform conservation strategies, we sampled sites of Blanchard's Cricket Frog (Acris blanchardi) at the northern periphery of their range to determine if modern declines are associated with genetic factors, delineate management units, and ...
