Many roads to reservoirs? How susceptibility and shedding shape host competence in amphibians

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 585-598, March 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Host competence—the ability to acquire, harbour and transmit infections—drives pathogen spread and persistence in multi‐host communities. Evaluating species‐specific competence is critical for predicting transmission, particularly for generalist fungal pathogens like ...

Estimating spatially varying occupancy trends for multi‐scale conservation: An amphibian case study in the midwestern United States

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 3, March 2026.
Our spatial modelling approach allows practitioners to estimate trends across multiple spatial scales to inform local and regional management priorities, particularly when summarizing trends within key areal units used for conservation planning. Our framework can be used to identify hotspots of decline across multiple sympatric species for targeted ...

Aquatic Biodiversity of the Pampa Biome: Insights From a Scientometric and Systematic Perspective

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The Pampa biome, in South America, covers parts of Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina. Its main characteristic is the predominance of grassland areas. The Pampa biome supports high biological diversity and a wide variety of ecosystems. In this study, we provide a comprehensive overview of biodiversity studies focusing on freshwater ecosystems of ...

Tracking viral particles in the intestinal contents of the American bullfrog, Lithobates catesbeianus, by Transmission Electron Microscopy

Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2014
Feces are an important viral agent elimination route for infected carrier animals and in aquatic organisms these pathogenic agents can very rapidly propagate due to the habitation environment. The objective of this work is to track viral particles in the

Heterodissemination: precision insecticide delivery to mosquito larval habitats by cohabiting vertebrates

Scientific Reports, 2021
Conventional larvicide delivery strategies originally developed for permanent and floodwater mosquitoes have proved suboptimal in the small, scattered, and cryptic larval habitats preferred by container-inhabiting Aedes mosquitoes.

Simulated soundscapes and transfer learning boost the performance of acoustic classifiers under data scarcity

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 322-338, February 2026.
Abstract The biodiversity crisis necessitates spatially extensive methods to monitor multiple taxonomic groups for evidence of change in response to evolving environmental conditions. Programs that combine passive acoustic monitoring and machine learning are increasingly used to meet this need. These methods require large, annotated datasets, which are

Characterisation of major histocompatibility complex class I genes in Japanese Ranidae frogs. [PDF]

, 2016
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a key component of adaptive immunity in all jawed vertebrates, and understanding the evolutionary mechanisms that have shaped these genes in amphibians, one of the earliest terrestrial tetrapods, is important.
