Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 442-463, September 2025.In this study, we analyze the conservation status of Ethiopia's amphibian and reptile diversity in terms of coverage with protected areas and global representation in conservation breeding facilities. We identify conservation gaps and suggest priorities for improvement.

The Metamorphosis of Amphibian Toxicogenomics [PDF]
, 2012 Amphibians are important vertebrates in toxicology often representing both aquatic and terrestrial forms within the life history of the same species. Of the thousands of species, only two have substantial genomics resources: the recently published genome

Impacts of sequential and simultaneous coinfection by major amphibian pathogens on disease outcomes
Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2025.Abstract In natural environments, hosts frequently experience infections from multiple pathogenic species or strains, significantly influencing disease dynamics. Despite shared susceptible hosts and overlapping distributions, the impacts of coinfections by the two most threatening global amphibian pathogens, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) and ...

Genome size rather than content might affect call properties in toads of three ploidy levels (Anura: Bufonidae: Bufo viridis subgroup) [PDF]
, 2012 In vertebrates, genome size has been shown to correlate with nuclear and cell sizes, and influences phenotypic features, such as brain complexity. In three different anuran families, advertisement calls of polyploids exhibit longer notes and intervals ...

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 7, July 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Sex is a fundamental trait of many organisms, and sex‐determination systems are diverse across the tree of life. Environmental temperature can influence sexual development not only in temperature‐dependent sex‐determination systems, but also in species with genotypic sex determination (GSD). Temperature‐induced sex reversal, resulting from

Pheomelanin in the skin of Hymenochirus boettgeri (Amphibia: Anura: Pipidae)
Experimental Dermatology, 2012 AbstractPheomelanin is supposed to be the first type of melanin found in vertebrates, in contrast to the main type – eumelanin. Our study aimed at detecting pheomelanin in the skin of Hymenochirus boettgerii. We employed electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), supplemented with standard histology ...

Three-dimensional anatomy of the ostrich (Struthio camelus) knee joint [PDF]
, 2014 The three-dimensional anatomy of the ostrich (Struthio camelus) knee (femorotibial, femorofibular, and femoropatellar) joint has scarcely been studied, and could elucidate certain mechanobiological properties of sesamoid bones.
