Landscape‐Driven Isolation Among, but High Genetic Diversity Within, Peripheral Populations of a Threatened Frog

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 ...

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 ...

Primeiro relato de Lernaea cyprinacea (Copepoda: Lernaeidae) em girinos e rãs recém-metamorfoseadas em populações selvagens de Lithobates catesbeianus (Anura: Ranidae) na Argentina

Phyllomedusa: Journal of Herpetology, 2016
Lernaea cyprinacea é um copépode ectoparasita que pode causar a morte do hospedeiro devido às hemorragias, ulcerações e infecções secundárias que provoca. Lernaea cyprinacea está amplamente distribuída na Argentina.

Changes in morphology over time due to denaturing agents in an ethanol and camphor solution [PDF]

Natural History Collections and Museomics
The ethanol collections of the Africamuseum require an approved denaturing agent, that can be used to top-up containers in which, historically, camphor-denatured ethanol has been used.

Áreas potenciais para a criação de rã-touro-gigante (lithobates catesbeianus SHAW, 1802) na região Sul do Brasil. [PDF]

, 2016
A ranicultura demonstra ser promissora no Brasil, principalmente como atividade rural voltada à agricultura familiar e aos pequenos agricultores. A presente pesquisa objetivou levantar preliminarmente os ranários ativos existentes atualmente na região ...

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 ...

Policy Recommendation on the Restriction on Amphibian Trade Toward the Republic of Korea

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2020
Amphibian diseases and invasive amphibian species are both generally introduced through the wildlife trade, either for human consumption or for the pet trade. However, adequate regulations can prevent such introductions.

Evaluating the Use of Environmental DNA as a Method to Determine Occupancy and Distribution of Coeur d'Alene Salamanders in Montana

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
The purpose of this project was to evaluate the efficacy of eDNA sampling to determine occupancy of Coeur d'Alene salamanders, an “imperiled” species in Montana. Previous methods used to identify occupied sites were haphazard with no measure of detection probability. Due to the unique habitat used by these salamanders (seeps and waterfall spray zones),

Lithobates Catesbeianus (American Bullfrog)

, 2017
Three adult males and two females collected alive. Lithobates catesbeianus is native from southeastern Canada, much of the central and eastern United States, and northeastern Mexico, and has also been reported in another 41 countries throughout the world, where it has been introduced for commercial purposes (Barrasso et al. 2009. South Am. J. Herpetol.
