Environmental detection of the amphibian chytrid fungus in water bodies is associated with host infection along a deforestation gradient

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Linking environmental pathogen detection with host infection patterns can improve surveillance of diseases involving environmental transmission, particularly where direct host sampling is logistically challenging. This approach enables the identification of areas of elevated transmission risk and supports targeted monitoring and management under ...

Beyond Habitat: How Anuran Skin Texture Shapes Plant Dispersal in Neotropical Wetlands

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Dispersal is a key process structuring wetland plant communities, yet epizoochory by amphibians remains a little‐known mechanism of passive plant dispersal. This study evaluated the potential role of Neotropical anurans as vectors of plant propagules through external adhesion in coastal wetlands.

Improving the Prediction of Treefrog Species Vulnerability to Climate Change: The Role of Abundance

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim As climate changes intensify over time due to anthropogenic pressures, it is estimated that a global shift in the current biodiversity patterns, including the loss of several species. Amphibians are the most threatened group by climate change and, in addition to distribution shifts, declines in species abundances are also expected.

Multimodal signaling in Boana albopunctata (Anura: Hylidae): reading visual and acoustic cues

Phyllomedusa: Journal of Herpetology, 2020
Multimodal signaling in Boana albopunctata (Anura: Hylidae): reading visual and acoustic cues. The acoustic mode of communication is important for anurans, but visual communication is beginning to be considered essential for some species, genera, and ...

Environmental DNA Reveals Major Shifts in Fish and Amphibian Diversity and Distribution in Alpine Lentic Ecosystems of Southwest China, Supporting Improved Conservation and Management

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Alpine lentic ecosystems are naturally fish‐poor or fish‐free, yet they have received numerous non‐native fish introductions globally. Studies have demonstrated that alien fish have negative impacts on aquatic organisms, particularly amphibians, which are highly susceptible to habitat alterations.

Occurrence of bufotenin in the Osteocephalus genus (Anura: Hylidae) [PDF]

Toxicon, 2005
Bufotenin (5-hydroxy-N,N-dimetyltryptamine) is a tryptamine alkaloid widely spread among anuran families as a component of their chemical defense system, acting as a potent hallucinogenic factor, showing similar activity to LSD upon interaction with the 5HT2 human receptor. This work demonstrates the presence of bufotenin in the skin secretion of three

Skin Resistance to Dehydration: A Theory‐Informed Trait Gradient in Anurans

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Anurans' sensitivity to hydric stress has driven adaptive changes in multiple traits, potentially displaying geographical clines, as is the case with body size. A longstanding body of research suggests that skin resistance to water loss may also vary geographically in response to water loss.

Urban–Wild Interface Diversity: A Comprehensive Checklist of Herpetofauna of Guayaquil, Ecuador

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Amphibians and reptiles in Guayaquil comprise multiple taxonomic orders and occur across conservation areas, forest remnants, and urban parks, including several endemic species and numerous taxa with type localities in the city. Although most species are globally classified as Least Concern, discrepancies between global and national threat assessments ...
