Decadienal afforestation and risks to montane grassland amphibians in the Udzungwa Plateau, Tanzania
Biotropica, Volume 55, Issue 5, Page 978-990, September 2023., 2023 Pine plantations are rising in previously tree‐free landscapes to relieve pressures on native forests for timber. In tropical montane grasslands, the introduction of new pine plantations appears to disrupt native amphibian communities and may cause local extinctions.

Ecology, sexual dimorphism, and jumping evolution in anurans
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, Volume 36, Issue 5, Page 829-841, May 2023., 2023 Sexual dimorphism (SD) of jumping is common in frogs and toads. Males did not differ in jumping velocity and energy among microhabitats, but females did and these differences are linked to sex‐specific reproductive roles. Abstract Sexual dimorphism (SD) is a common feature of animals, and selection for sexually dimorphic traits may affect both ...

Savanna vegetation increase triggers freshwater community shifts
Global Change Biology, Volume 28, Issue 23, Page 7023-7037, December 2022., 2022 Large mammalian herbivores inhabiting savanna landscapes are known to shape adjacent freshwater bodies, which are used by a wide variety of species during reproduction. Following a period of intensified poaching in Comoé National Park, Ivory Coast, we quantified major vegetation increase in small temporary ponds, which resulted in significant ...
