Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.By analyzing 277 anuran mitochondrial genomes, this study reconstructs a robust phylogeny for frogs and toads, tracing their origins to the Triassic and major radiations to the Cretaceous‐Neogene. The research identifies 58 distinct gene arrangement patterns, providing a novel evolutionary framework.

Detection and succession properties of forested vernal pools with eDNA metabarcoding
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.We examined the capacity of environmental DNA metabarcoding for studying biodiversity of forested vernal pools, using multiple assays to investigate different eukaryotic communities over space and time. Our results suggest that metabarcoding can serve as a complementary tool for ‘scaling up’ vernal pool biodiversity monitoring, illuminating ecological ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.How to manage the continued impact of Chytrid fungus on Kihansi Spray Toad population in the wild. ABSTRACT Chytridiomycosis, caused by the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), is fatal to some amphibian species, whereas others can carry the pathogen without developing disease.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.We report the first complete mitochondrial genome of the near‐threatened frog Nanorana quadranus from the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau. The 20,173 bp mitogenome includes 13 protein‐coding genes, 21 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs, and a control region. Phylogenetic analysis places N. quadranus in a clade with N.

Characterisation of major histocompatibility complex class I genes in Japanese Ranidae frogs. [PDF]
, 2016 The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a key component of adaptive immunity in all jawed vertebrates, and understanding the evolutionary mechanisms that have shaped these genes in amphibians, one of the earliest terrestrial tetrapods, is important.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.The purpose of this project was to evaluate the efficacy of eDNA sampling to determine occupancy of Coeur d'Alene salamanders, an “imperiled” species in Montana. Previous methods used to identify occupied sites were haphazard with no measure of detection probability. Due to the unique habitat used by these salamanders (seeps and waterfall spray zones),
