This study presents the first comprehensive analysis of lifespan and age at sexual maturity in seven common anuran species from Hainan Island's tropical rainforest, filling a critical gap in tropical amphibian ecology. The results reveal significant interspecific variation in lifespan (5 ~ 9 years) and maturity age (3 ~ 5 years), indicating a “slow ...

Behavior and mortality of anurans on roads in the Australian tropics
Roads are a major source of mortality for wildlife, particularly amphibians. Identifying vulnerable species and understanding any behavioral predictors of mortality helps us understand vulnerability to traffic and can inform management strategies. We investigated a 9‐species anuran community in tropical Australia with respect to 3 behavioral responses ...

Caractéristiques biologiques de la reproduction de la Grenouille rousse (Rana temporaria) dans une population à l'extrême sud-ouest de la France [PDF]
Se ha estudiado una pequeña población de rana bermeja (Rana temporaria) en su lugar de reproducción en el País Vasco (Pyrénées Atlantiques). Su morfología particular ha hecho considerar estas ranas como atípicas, por lo que deberían ser preservadas.

Scandinavian amphibians: their aquatic habitat and tolerance
To determine the impact that anthropogenic acidification has had on natural amphibian populations in Scandinavia and to trace the species’ tolerance limits, in 1988-89 four poorly buffered areas in Norway were investigated; three were anthropogenically ...

ABSTRACT Once‐common beavers have been absent from the British landscape for centuries, but wild beaver populations have returned in recent years as part of reintroduction schemes, including releases into monitored enclosures. In North Yorkshire, such a release of Eurasian beavers took place in 2019.
