Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 343, Issue 8, Page 857-869, October 2025.ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) are of increasing global concern for species inhabiting aquatic habitats. However, the mechanisms behind animal responses to MPs still require comprehensive exploration. Amphibians are the most threatened vertebrate group with most species having a complex life cycle, commonly with an aquatic larval stage.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.The colour of amphibian skin and eyes is the result of light interacting with multiple chromatophores (xanthophores, iridophores and melanophores), leading to challenges when trying to identify which of these cells are involved in colour abnormalities.

Effective Amphibian Conservation Monitoring and Habitat Assessment Using eDNA
Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 5, September–October 2025.ABSTRACT The European green toad (Bufotes viridis) is currently in decline and considered endangered across the northern extent of its native range, with large investments in ongoing conservation and translocation efforts. To assist conservation efforts, survey methods must be established that are cost‐effective, non‐invasive, and rapidly deployable ...

Metamorphosis Reverses the Behavioral Phenotype in Rana arvalis Along a Latitudinal Gradient
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.Investigating behavior and life history traits in moor frog across a broad latitudinal gradient, we reveal a striking reversal in proactive behavioral tendencies between the tadpole and froglet developmental stages. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the relationship between proactivity and growth rates is shaped by developmental stage, local adaptation,

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.DNA metabarcoding of predator scat can provide direct evidence of trophic interactions in a landscape that may refute prior indirect evidence based on correlative data. ABSTRACT Peatland ecosystems and the unique biodiversity they support are under risk from multiple stressors, including changes in species interactions.

Strategies, costs and counter‐strategies to sexual coercion
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 4, Page 1557-1577, August 2025.ABSTRACT Sexual conflict, the conflict between the evolutionary interests of females and males over mating, occasionally results in the evolution of traits favourable for one sex and adverse for the other. In this context, males can use sexual coercion to increase their mating success, at the expense of their female targets' mate choice.

Treatment of Lowland Frogs From the Spawn Stage with Homeopathically Prepared Thyroxin (10-30)
The Scientific World Journal, 2007 The influence of a highly diluted agitated, i.e. homeopathically prepared thyroxin solution (10-30, final concentration in the basin water 10-35 parts by weight after the first application) on metamorphosis in lowland Rana temporaria from the spawn stage

Global impacts of exotic eucalypt plantations on wildlife
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 4, Page 1734-1753, August 2025.ABSTRACT The establishment of exotic tree plantations poses a pervasive threat to wildlife across the globe. Among the most important tree species used for forestry purposes worldwide are members of the genus Eucalyptus, which have now been established in at least 107 countries outside of their native range.
