Lurking in the leaves: How large native trees and leaf litter promote amphibian diversity in Malagasy agroforests

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 12, Page 3395-3407, December 2025.
While old‐growth forests are irreplaceable for conserving Madagascar's endemic amphibian diversity, agroforests can also support amphibian populations, especially if management enhances habitat complexity through increased leaf litter and the presence of large native trees.

Ecological Change Resulting in an Apparent Increase of Marbled Tree Snakes, Dipsadoboa aulica, in a Shrub‐Encroached Wetland

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Dipsadoboa aulica, the marbled tree snake, a small arboreal snake that feeds primarily on geckos, is found in the north‐east of South Africa. They were recorded historically in Ndumo Game Reserve; however, a recent trip revealed unexpectedly high numbers at floodplain pans, feeding on calling amphibians.

Amphibians and Reptiles of Ethiopia—Biogeography, Conservation Priority Areas, and Potentials for “One Plan Approach” Conservation Measures 埃塞俄比亚的两栖爬行动物——生物地理学、保育优先区及“一体化方案”保育措施的潜力

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.

Negative responses of two dry‐adapted amphibians to tree planting density in the Great Green Wall in Senegal

Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 6, August 2025.
Dryland restoration is a challenging task due to the intrinsic low resilience and vulnerability to land degradation of these ecosystems. Restoring vegetation communities is often the first step to reinstating ecosystem health; however, resorting to activities such as tree planting is increasingly called into question, as it may lead to abrupt habitat ...
