Mortality on the tracks: spatiotemporal patterns to rail‐kill in the Balule Nature Reserve, South Africa

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, January 2025.
The global dependency on railways as an economical and environmentally‐friendly option for transportation is steadily increasing. Despite their numerous benefits, railways and train traffic can have negative impacts on wildlife, particularly through the risk of mortality due to collisions with trains, entrapment in rails, or electrocution at overhead ...

A race against extinction: The challenge to overcome the Linnean amphibian shortfall in tropical biodiversity hotspots

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 30, Issue 12, December 2024.
Abstract Aim There is an urgent need to explore, characterize, describe and preserve as many species as possible to prevent their decline. Tropical biodiversity hotspots harbour most of the known land diversity and vast amounts of undiscovered and undescribed species.

Comparative muscle anatomy of the anuran pelvis and hindlimb in relation to locomotor mode

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 245, Issue 5, Page 751-774, November 2024.
Scientists at UCL and the Royal Veterinary College have digitally dissected the musculoskeletal anatomy of the pelvis and hindlimbs of 30 frog species using contrast‐enhanced microCT scanning, forming the largest digital anatomical dataset in any vertebrate group to date.

Unique breeding biology of the recently described Beytell's bullfrog Pyxicephalus beytelli

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 3, September 2024.
Abstract At the time of the recent description of Beytell's bullfrog (Pyxicephalus beytelli), no information about the breeding biology of this frog was known to science. The intensive publicity in the social media that followed this description caught the eye of a USA‐based film maker who incidentally recently filmed the breeding biology of this frog ...

Exploring Paleogene Tibet's warm temperate environments through target enrichment and phylogenetic niche modelling of Himalayan spiny frogs (Paini, Dicroglossidae)

Molecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 15, August 2024.
Abstract The Cenozoic topographic development of the Himalaya‐Tibet orogen (HTO) substantially affected the paleoenvironment and biodiversity patterns of High Asia. However, concepts on the evolution and paleoenvironmental history of the HTO differ massively in timing, elevational increase and sequence of surface uplift of the different elements of the

Table1_Crossing the Rift valley: using complete mitogenomes to infer the diversification and biogeographic history of ethiopian highlands Ptychadena (anura: Ptychadenidae).xlsx

, 2023
The Ethiopian Highlands are considered a biodiversity hotspot, harboring a high number of endemic species. Some of the endemic species probably diversified in situ; this is, for example, the case of a monophyletic clade containing 12 known species of ...

Anthropogenic effects of habitat modification on anuran species diversity in a swamp forest area, Kenya

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 1, January 2024.
Abstract Anuran species are some of the good environmental indicators of habitat quality and condition in ecosystems. This is due to their amphibious life modes and sensitivity to environmental change caused by rapid expansion of agricultural activities, advancement of forest destruction, climate change and emerging infectious diseases.
