The Role of Environmental Factors on Visual Communication in Neotropical Anurans
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Visual signals are a widespread behavioural attribute of communication among vertebrates, often employed during intrasexual competition or mate attraction, ultimately influencing reproductive success. However, the environmental factors driving visual signal evolution remain poorly understood.

Detection and succession properties of forested vernal pools with eDNA metabarcoding
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.We examined the capacity of environmental DNA metabarcoding for studying biodiversity of forested vernal pools, using multiple assays to investigate different eukaryotic communities over space and time. Our results suggest that metabarcoding can serve as a complementary tool for ‘scaling up’ vernal pool biodiversity monitoring, illuminating ecological ...

Amphibian Strategies Against Attacks by Flies: Host‐Specificity and Threats
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.Species interactions between Diptera flies and amphibians play a significant role in tropical ecosystems, but their ecology and evolution remain understudied. This review explores the costs flies impose on amphibians, such as pathogen transmission and disruption of communication systems, and highlights the evolutionary strategies employed by both ...
