Frog Diversity in Central Amazonian Macrophyte Beds: The Role of Local Environmental Gradients
Austral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 12, December 2025.ABSTRACT Ecological assemblages can be shaped by neutral, niche‐based processes, or a combination of both. Understanding the influence of these processes and evaluating diversity measures based on taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic metrics on the structure of ecological assemblages can show patterns and unravel community assembly mechanisms ...

Anuran artifacts of preservation: 27 years later [PDF]
, 2009 Measurements made on preserved anuran specimens are often used in studies of systematics, ecology and evolution. Here, we examine the effect of preservation on one of the most common measurement of frogs, snout-urostyle length (SUL).

Do I Sound Sick? Condition‐Dependent Advertisement Signals in Naturally Infected Frogs
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.To understand whether infection has negative, sublethal effects on frog courtship behaviors, we conducted an observational field study of the effects of infection on spring peepers (Pseudacris crucifer). We found that increasing infection loads were associated with longer call durations in males in good condition, but were associated with shorter call ...

Amphibian Chytrid Fungus Infection Influences Calling Investment in Male Brown Toadlets
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.The sublethal effects of infection and disease on male advertisement behaviour remain poorly understood. Here we show that male brown toadlets infected with the amphibian chytrid fungus produce calls with more pulses compared to uninfected males. The association we report supports the terminal investment hypothesis and has the potential to impact host ...

Chytrid fungus infection in alpine tree frogs is associated with individual heterozygosity and population isolation but not population-genetic diversity [PDF]
, 2020 Chytridiomycosis, a disease caused by the emerging fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), has been implicated in the decline of over 500 amphibian species.
