Prevalence of Ranavirus Infection in Three Anuran Species across South Korea [PDF]
Viruses, 2022 To cope with amphibian die-offs caused by ranavirus, it is important to know the underlying ranavirus prevalence in a region. We studied the ranavirus prevalence in tadpoles of two native and one introduced anuran species inhabiting agricultural and ...

Relative abundance of amphibians in forest canopy gaps of natural origin vs. timber harvest origin [PDF]
Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2010 Small-scale canopy gaps created by logging may retain adequate habitat structure to maintain amphibian abundance. We used pitfalls with drift fences to measure relative abundance of amphibians in 44 harvested gaps, 19 natural treefall gaps, and 36 closed-
