Genetic polymorphism in amphibian populations of Protected Areas in the south of Western Siberia and the Urals

open access: yesNature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука, 2018
Amphibians are an important but vulnerable component of biodiversity. Climatic changes and anthropogenic transformation of the environment can lead to changes in spawning times and habitat boundaries, causing adverse genetic processes in populations.

Study on Life History Strategies of Anurans in Tropical Rainforest: Lifespan and Age at Sexual Maturity

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
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

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 5, July 2026.
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]

open access: yesMunibe Ciencias Naturales, 2010
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

open access: yesFauna Norvegica, 2010
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 ...

Outbreaks of an Emerging Viral Disease Covary With Differences in the Composition of the Skin Microbiome of a Wild United Kingdom Amphibian

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
There is growing appreciation of the important role of commensal microbes in ensuring the normal function and health of their hosts, including determining how hosts respond to pathogens. A range of infectious diseases are threatening amphibians worldwide,

Whole System Ecohydrological Change Following Natural Flood Management and a Five‐Year Beaver Reintroduction Trial

open access: yesEcohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 4, June 2026.
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.
