Locomotor, ecological and phylogenetic drivers of skeletal proportions in frogs. [PDF]
J Anat, 2023 Frogs exhibit complex anatomical features of the pelvis, limbs and spine, long assumed to represent specialisations for jumping. Yet frogs employ a wide range of locomotor modes, with several taxa featuring primary locomotor modes other than jumping ...

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome data of Asiatic Toad, Bufo gargarizans (Cantor, 1842) (Neobatrachia: Bufonidae) from Mianyang, China [PDF]
Data in BriefA common amphibian in East Asia, the Bufo gargarizans is significant for research on ecology, conservation biology, and evolution. Thus, the B. gargarizans mitochondrial genome was sequenced and subjected to a methodical analysis. The sequence was 17,431

A new genus and species of frog from the Kem Kem (Morocco), the second neobatrachian from Cretaceous Africa [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Neobatrachia, a clade representing the majority of extant anuran diversity, is thought to have emerged and diversified during the Cretaceous. Most of the early diversification of neobatrachians occurred in southern Gondwana, especially the regions that ...

The Gondwana Breakup and the History of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans Unveils Two New Clades for Early Neobatrachian Diversification. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The largest anuran diversity belongs to the Neobatrachia, which harbor more than five thousand extant species. Here, we propose a new hypothesis for the historical aspects of the neobatrachian evolution with a formal biogeographical analysis. We selected
